What to plant?

One of my favorite flowers to plant is Lantana! It just makes me happy and is usually hard to kill, which is good for me. It comes in a variety of colors too!



Tis the season...


Tis the season to start planting! I love to work outside and am not afraid to get down and dirty. ;-) A quick tip when planting flowers is to make sure you break up the roots after you take the flower out of the plastic container, before putting it in the ground.

Also, before sticking your flower in the ground, a great product to sprinkle in the hole is Osmocote® Outdoor & Indoor Smart-Release® Plant Food. My mom's always used it, and I used it last year in my flower beds and it worked like a charm.
