I’ve been experimenting with mixing practical plants (like herbs) alongside ornamental varieties to create corners that are both useful and beautiful. It’s amazing how combining textures and scents can transform even a small space into something vibrant. ✨ Here’s my question for the community: What unexpected plant pairings have worked best for you? I’d love to see how others are blending creativity with functionality in their gardens.

Just sharing a couple of photos of my Buddleias, Black Knight and Pink Delight. I’m finally seeing some different butterflies and my Jujube which, with a bit if luck, will hold onto some fruit against all odds like howling winds.

I’ve been experimenting with layering plants of different heights to create depth in small garden spaces. It makes even a balcony feel lush and dynamic! Has anyone else tried this approach? Would love to see your results..

Just an update on my lettuce. Initially the grasshoppers came and ate half the crop but after transplanting a few more there was complete success. I keep a net over the top of the lettuce all day to slow the plants going to seed. How is your lettuce coping in this heat?

We received 6” of snow yesterday and supposed to get more tonight with temps below 0 Fahrenheit. Trying to figure out how to send pictures
