Get Growing

If you're planning on a plant shopping spree this weekend, and go check out Gaia Organic Seeds. Their seeds make up half my collection, and their chocolate striped tomato keeps me happy all summer.

I have a great love for plants that resemble something else in nature. Meet the sea anemone's doppelganger, the Passionflower.

Passionflower is a hardy vine that looks tropical but can withstand colder climates. It’s said to grow in zones 5-9, but if you live in zone 5 grow it in a container, and bring it indoors for the winter. It loves full sun, but tolerates partial shade (4 hours of light). Provide it with regular water, an all-purpose fertilizer, and you’ll have a happy plant. Passionflowers bloom on new growth, which means you only prune it in the spring before it flowers.

Do you have a balcony garden, or a small city space? Don't hesitate to enter! Your gardens are gorgeous too!

I’ve been working indoors on this for weeks. Excuse me while I go reacquaint myself with the sun. ☀️🌻☀️
