It’s a good idea to fill your hummingbird feeder

It’s a good idea to fill your hummingbird feeders with only as much food as the birds are likely to consume in a day or so, as the nectar quickly spoils and can even ferment when it’s warm.

But even if the feeder isn’t empty, don’t go longer than two days in hot weather and five days when it’s cool before dumping out remaining nectar and cleaning the feeder thoroughly.

Your feathered friends will thank you for protecting their health by keeping their feeder clean.

Are you ready to start a garden but the thought of wedding the garden every day has you running for the hills? We were exactly the same way!! Until we discovered landscape fabric.

Jamie calls it cheating but we will gladly “cheat” if that means we don’t have to spend long hours bending over beds wedding.

Pinching can be used to increase yield and to prolong bloom.

To do this, you simply cut the top of the growing stem off above a set of leaves, which encourages the plant to grow bushier. And leads to more flowers.

To get specific details on pinching each variety of plants (some plants, like peonies should NOT be pinched as you'll lose the flower), google is your friend. You don't want to accidentally ruin your whole plant.

The garden should reflect the gardener.

You do not have to plant in perfect row if you prefer the wild rambling garden. And you don't have to have a hodgepodge of plants if you like neat and tidy rows.

Really consider what you enjoy when you look at a garden and plant a garden that INSPIRES YOU!!

Let me know in the comments are you "neat and tidy" or "wild and rambling".

Don't forget to Harden Off Your Seedlings!!

We started hardening off some of our seedlings this week. This is a process that usually takes a week or more where you acclimate the plants to outdoor conditions. The process changes their cellular makeup to be stronger and more tolerant of the wind and full sun.

To harden off your little plants, you’ll want to take them outside in the full morning sun for 2-3 hours. After that, either bring them back inside under their lights or keep them outside but some- where shaded and protected from wind.

I usually do 2-3 hours for 3 days, and then gradually add more time each day until they’re outside for the whole day.

Save this post so you remember to Harden Off Your Seedlings.
