I'm reviewing the list of last season's varieties that I held back and am realizing I need to part ways with more than just a few of them. It's so hard...I want to keep them all, but I don't have the space or desire to divide so many in the fall.

So, on that note, it's time for another giveaway! I still have some really pretty varieties remaining, and I'll share one of these two with the winner (your choice), shipped at my expense. Your choice is between Arctic Gold and Hollyhill Plum Widow.

To enter, you must follow my page. Comment on which variety you would choose. Tell me how many more you bought this year than you intended 🤣. If you were disciplined and didn't do that, please tell me how many varieties you are growing! Drawing a name sometime in the next day or two. Good luck!

I believe Luna is protesting the level of neglect she’s been enduring while I spend every evening shipping orders after work. No time for love and adoration (or brushing!) 😂

I shared this originally in January of 2025. I'm not sure if the links all still work...I'll double-check those.

We added an additional item to the setup that helps tremendously in keeping the bags from ever drying out. My husband saw these barbed stakes being used at one of our local nurseries. We bought these and have attached them to the line going into each grow bag. These stakes direct the water from the hose to the bottom of the stake, into the middle/bottom of the grow bag. I'm hoping to put a reel together to actually show the assembly process. It's not hard at all!

I recently posted a pic of our grow bag setup and had several requests for information on how we set up our irrigation. I thought I would post it here for anyone who is interested. It really is a very simple setup.

This sounds like a lot, but I did this by myself in my garden. My husband ran it for the dahlias. I’ll list a link for the items but you wouldn’t have to get them at the store the links take you to. It’s just showing you what we used.

The hose that we use is ½ inch tubing.

You run this the full length of where your bags are. You can run two rows fairly close together like in the picture I shared.

This clamp goes on the end of the ½ hose, wherever it ends (the opposite end from the spigot)

The drip tubing is 1/8” and it is what attaches to the main line.

t attaches to the main lines with these buttons

We use about a 2 foot length of the 1/8” hose from the main line to the bags. At the end going into the bag, we used the drip stakes so the roots of the plants get watered without soaking the tubers:

At the water spigot, we have a timer:

Then a backflow preventer

https://www.acehardware.com/departments/lawn-and-garden/watering-and-irrigation/drip-irrigation-accessories/7011722?store=18909&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAkJO8BhCGARIsAMkswyhZ0iQVYM52fzcO7WlLDM7ZSfQxeshzFCqyNlW17qGJUtkeLMEdBlgaAh4FEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Then a pressure regulator

https://www.dripdepot.com/economy-three-quarter-inch-hose-thread-pressure-regulator-25-psi?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAkJO8BhCGARIsAMkswyjGB4n6TTzZbMcG5v46tDLzwH3Rp1HvX7BWMTHLSQG6sF7LWH8MMhkaApaeEALw_wcB

Finally, there is a fitting that attaches the end of the main hose line to the pressure regulator:

https://www.dripdepot.com/perma-loc-tubing-by-three-quarter-inch-female-hose-thread-swivel-fhts-adapter-perma-loc-size-half-inch

This tool is a Godsend for cutting the hose and for punching holes in the main line to insert the button.

For fertilizing, look up EZ-Flo. It’s awesome!

Hope this helps.

****CONGRATULATIONS CARISSA BURK! YOU'VE WON THE WD CHERRY SODA TUBER

RIP: Jeff Bloom, Wyn's Dusty Daydream, Lo Dorothy, Colleen Mooney, HH Monet, HH Golden Glow, Redhawk Buckskin, WB's Sir Ed x2. Culled today...already showing signs of virus

The ranunculus are starting to bloom! I was late getting them in the ground, but it will be cool enough for a while to get cut flowers before their season ends 🥰

05/23/2026

I’ve marked almost everything on my site down 50%.

I’m so sorry it has taken me so long to do this — life has been a little chaotic the past couple of weeks. I’ve tried to respond to everyone who messaged me, but if I missed you, I truly apologize.

A couple of months ago, someone asked me about Thomas Edison and I told them I would hold it, but I cannot remember who it was. If that was you, please send me a message and remind me of our conversation!

Anything that doesn’t sell this weekend will be reduced even further next week for anyone looking to fill a few empty spots in the garden.

Thank you so much!

Greenhouse blooms are usually a little wonky for me, so it's exciting to finally get to see this big, fluffy bloom on Coorabell Snowflake ❄️🌺
