Let me first stress to you just how much I’m not a florist. Not even a little… But I really enjoy making homemade affordable/free decor. I love wreaths, but I have never wanted to invest the money in one for a number of reasons. 1. They fade quicker than...

My First Time Planting Garlic | Hopefully It’s Not Too Late | Zone 7b
Baltimore County, MD
I am very very new to this gardening game. This is my first year attempting an actual food producing garden and I am realizing how very little actual down time of gardening there is. Already I am jotting down lists of what I want to plant next year and...
