#Plants Our first crocuses of (early) spring. #Flowers #GrowingThings

Want a tough-as-nails drought resistant perennial for shade? The somewhat underused Epimediums are in bloom.

I love the flower and leaf edge color-echo…

As I await tulips to begin blooming, here’s from a past spring,
Euphorbia characias and Tulip ‘Bastogne.’

The color echoes were not planned…rather, they were another gift from the garden🌿

Planting Moonflower Vine seeds…and thinking of that magical moment when the first flower unfolds it’s fragrant beauty.

Every year, I watch in wonder.

Wonderful and witty, a poem by the great gardener Geoffrey Charlesworth…
‘Why Did My Plant Die?”

(best read aloud, after a trying day in the garden🌞)

Before we moved from Texas, I was an IT freelancer but I have completely retired from IT and am a full time #farmwife responsible for 105 acres of high desert land. I'm still very new to farming, #homesteading, and #animalHusbandry, but I've been #gardening and #growingThings for a very long time and I feel like #landStewardship is something I was meant to do. Part of the beauty of the journey I'm on is unlocking the #ancestralKnowledge that capitalism & colonialism has stolen from us.
