Hey there, friend!

 

We have all gotten so much rain around here lately, though I know many of you may still be stuck in a drought. Either way, if your annuals are starting to look leggy like mine, it's time to give them a haircut, and I'm going to show you exactly how to do that for HUGE blooms ahead!

 

And mark your calendar: tune in around 8:30 pm EST on Monday, June 22 for our Live from the Farm. We have some exciting things to share!

 

One more thing. Next week is Amazon Prime Days, and you better believe we've had our eyes glued to the deals. We'll be passing along our favorite finds in the garden and more, so keep an eye out on my Amazon Storefront for the best deals coming soon!

 

Now, if your roses are your pride and joy, this one's for you. Roses get a reputation for being fussy, but the truth is they just want a few simple things done consistently. Today I'm sharing how I keep mine looking gorgeous all season, plus exactly how I handle the two troublemakers I get asked about most: black spot and Japanese beetles.

 Let's dig in, y'all.
 

XOXO,💚
Carmen
