With the heat, the smoke across the Valley, and day-to-day distractions, carving out some me-time can become the LAST thing we focus on but I HIGHLY recommend you come up with SOMETHING that you LOVE and do it, every morning. Mine is watering my plants.

So I've got this pumpkin that's guzzling about 16 gallons of water everyday. Every few days it seems to double in size so I'm going to keep watering in the early morning and in the later evening and see what happens!

We've been daydreaming about chopping up the backyard and planting items we love like ferns, moss, hydrangeas, and more. The time is now to create your Zen spot

The baby Dill pumpkin is turning into a beast. I'm glad there's enough room for it to expand because not only has it taken over about 12 feet of fencing it's beginning to move out as well.

As we wrap up one heatwave and prepare for another the watering game needs to remain strong. Can you handle it?

PLEASE take precautions before turning it on. Let it run for a bit away from little fingers and toes. Your garden hose is normally sitting in the sun and the first bursts of water that come out are hot enough to burn your skin.

they LOVE rosebuds and brand new growth. So much so they can suck the life out of your beautiful rose garden before it gets a chance to thrive. Having never experienced this I asked how to get rid of them and the answer is shockingly easy.

For real, there's a science behind going outside and breathing fresh air each morning so I've been making a point to water my plants as my very first task of the day, a routine that excites me when I wake up. Figure out what excites you first thing and go for it!
