Spring is Here and it’s Time to Prep the Garden 🪴🌸

Spring is finally here, which means so is gardening! I love seeing all the plants in the shops coming out. One of my favorite things to do is go in and wander. Every spring I buy a new plant to add to my potted plant collection, hopefully one day in the future I’ll have a huge garden though!

What about you? What are some of your favorite plants? Have you started your garden yet this season? What are you planting?

My daughter has been begging for a pet, so I told her if she can keep a plant alive for one year then I would give her a pet. She's gonna grow sunflowers this year, relatively easy and her favorite flower.
