I live in Minneapolis and am looking for modern chairs with horizontal wood like yours and can’t find them anywhere online or locally.

Thank you!

Hand picking is a pain but really the best way to go. Push them off the leaves and into a cup of soapy water.

I got a music box shrub rose this spring, and have found a few on it in the last week. I got an organic spray that is supposed to keep them away but always looking for any kind of other methods or advice!

Or is this an old post that I’m missing??

Weeding can definitely improve ones mood, can’t it? The weather is nice and cool today, and I plan on spending most of my afternoon mowing, and weeding! I used to never like purple, but it has become a favorite in my garden over the last few years – it’s starting to show isn’t it :)

Hey Michele! I think it looks good now because it came in so late this year. The other JL next to this one is still super puny and small. I was worried it wasn’t going to make it, so don’t feel bad about yours already peaking.

I bet you have a ton of other pretty succulent stuff you can grow – I totally get the nostalgia thing though. I wouldn’t want to be gardening in 100º weather either, however your backyard clawfoot tub sounds pretty great!

I agree about the Hosta flowers. If I don’t get to them right away I always figure that I am helping the bees, but as soon as I can, I chop ’em. The veggie garden is doing alright, I didn’t share it because it hadn’t been weeded at the time and looked like a hot mess, but I have done so since. I am growing my first tomato this year, and jalapenos!

Thanks LJ! I try and make it as real as I can :)

Your garden looks lovely Scoops, I like the color purple running through each photo.

We can’t grow any of those things in Austin! And it’s over a hundred degrees out right now, so really too hot to enjoy my garden unless I’m gently marinating in my backyard clawfoot tub.

And I’m glad I’m not the only one who cuts off hosta flowers. They make them look really messy, imho. My entire backyard is hostas though (we’re in deep, deep shade), so I’m biased. How is your veggie garden coming along?

And your blog feels so real in that you reflect real life and the hangups, as well as the fun, exciting times.
