Gloomy Days, No Rays, But Plants that Still Amaze

We have a TON to share. We haven't posted in a very long time, so here's what we have to say today! Though it's midway through winter, our plants are going strong. Our first time winter planting has been a success, and we're very excited for what spring has to offer us!

More updates soon- We're also thinking about doing some posts related to gardening tips, healthy eating, recipes, ect. We think it will be a great touch to our blog. We may even start making videos for those who would like to become skillful gardeners! We have a lot to share with you all.

Our calendulas survived the frost, cold, heavy fog, and a few
rain storms over the past few months. They're growing strong
and looking gorgeous with their neon yellow petals!

It's been VERY gloomy, cold, and foggy within the past week
or two. Our plants desperately need some sun!


A lot of our bulbs are sprouting! This one is a daffodil.

Our drumstick allium bulbs are doing fantastic! Planted in late
autumn, and they already sprouted fantastically. We're in shock
at how far along they are.
Our pansies are doing great, though they can grow slow! Excited
to see the frosty blues bloom especially!

Our spearmint is finally taking off. It was also a slow growing
plant for us, but it's been growing like crazy lately, sometimes
even doubling in a few days!

We love seeing buds on our pansies!

Our carnations are very close to blooming as well, despite the
cold and sunless days! We never grew carnations, so we're very
excited to see them.

Sweet peas are doing great too! We have over a hundred including
these seedlings. It's overwhelming, but we know they will be
beautiful when they bloom.

First time ever, we grew sugar snap peas and Asian melting
sugar peas! They grow fast, and they tolerate frost. It's a
win-win situation for winter gardeners!
Our ranunculuses are getting huge! Hopefully close to blooming.
Ranunculus would make some gorgeous cuttings!

Transplanting some cilantro. Our cilantro is selling faster than
it's growing! It's a big hit at the market.

Here's our little "trick," I guess you can say, for making sure our
plants get enough sun. We have plastic shelves with wooden
dollies on the bottoms that we purchased from a hardware store,
so we can wheel them out to get some sun! No sun now, but they
plants do appreciate being out in the open.
