Free Gardening Consultations

We all know everyone can't have a green thumb. After being away for the summer, I think we can all agree that my pots and window boxes look simply fantastic!


Mr. KB tended to their every need. Exhibit A - check out these planters on my front steps




Exhibit B - I am the envy of all the neighbors with these window box arrangements!




Finally, the piece de la resistance - I give you another thriving pot (also on my front step).



In fairness, to Mr. KB it was a HOT HOT HOT summer, and there were only pansies in these pots which never would have made it. Truth be told, even something heartier would have failed b/c Mr. KB is lacking the old green thumb, so I gave up on this endeavor years ago. I'll be spending part of my day today cleaning these out because I do believe this might be a case of nothing is best :)

Counting down the days til the mums are here ;) xo, Brie

I proudly present.............





CHIA KITTEN!




As you can see after careful soaking and application of the chia seeds (including some in his water hole and also on his head). The first beautiful signs of life have appeared in NJ. Every time Ms. C walks by this she can't help but remark how cute it is. I am bursting with pride, I am, I am! xo, Brie
