Severe freezing temps are coming for us in the South, and I know my Northern friends are blanketed in snow already! 

If you have not yet prepared your home and garden for pipe-bursting cold weather, NOW is the time to do it! A little preparation can save plants, protect your home, and prevent costly damage. Read more here. 
 

Freezing temps means it is crockpot weather! From chili to hot chocolate, I like to make all sorts of things in my crockpot. I found these ladles that have a hook on the back to prevent them from falling in! Genius! 

 

You can find these ladles and lots more genius ideas in my 2025 Gift Guide! It is packed with thoughtful ideas for gardeners, hosts, plant lovers, and everyone in between. Download the gift guide and get your orders in before it is too late to ship in time for the holidays! Keep scrolling for your link! 
 

Stay warm, enjoy the slower pace of the season, and remember that everything you do now is an investment in a beautiful spring.

Happy gardening,
Carmen
