Good morning, I just wanted to hop on and wish everyone a great weekend. This is supposed to be a beautiful weekend for us here in Texas. I hope it stays that way. Hoping to get a little work done in the garden. Hurting a little but I'm going to get out there while I can.

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice please? I've recently bought a lilac shrub with the intention of putting it in the garden, but now I'm thinking that it might be better in a pot. Has anyone had success growing a lilac shrub in a pot?

Make sure to stop and smell the flowers. Seeing them bloom and the beauty, but there's a whole new level when you can see the beauty by smell.

I am curious how many are interested in learning more about herbs and how they are used. For me, herbs are not separate from the garden. They belong in the living system. They feed pollinators, bring scent and diversity, support the soil, add flavor to food, and many have long histories of home use. I do think herbs should be approached with respect, because they are not just “natural products.” They have actions, energetics, strengths, and cautions, although I also think many families can begin simply by learning the common kitchen and garden herbs already around them. What would you be most interested in learning about herbs?

Love a good FB bargain. All these for a bottle of wine (about £7/$10). For size comparison the barrel in the back is half whisky barrel! Great for me and my small garden 😁 now what will I fill them with lol 😆
