Thanks SO MUCH to everyone who entered this giveaway! 

 

Be on the lookout for future giveaways, retreats and fun events! 

Hi folks,

 

Carmen has got you covered in the garden, but I'm more worried about what can happen inside our home during a hard freeze.

 

It's hard to remember everything that you need to do to get prepared for a major weather event like this. 

 

To make things simple, I put together a comprehensive emergency preparedness checklist you can download for free. This checklist covers everything from lighting and power to food, warmth, and household essentials, so you are not trying to remember it all when the weather turns bad.

 

Stay safe,

-Tommy

A reader sent me a question that I often get asked… What are the best plants for my two large front porch planters that will last in the shade all winter long? This is such a great question, so today I’m sharing my favorite winter container recipe!

If you’re worried about how to keep the frost, snow and ice from killing your plants, shrubs and other landscaping, here’s how to protect your garden and give your curb appeal a chance of survival.
