I’ve wanted to add a water feature to my garden area for a long time but didn’t want to spend any money on it. I inherited a pump from my parents a few years ago but couldn’t quite get it to work right with the pots and buckets I have. But recently, I got it…
Embracing Imperfect Gardening has become my unexpected theme this season. We finally planted the garden. It’s later than I hoped—definitely past the “Mother’s Day weekend” target that I usually aim for—but we got it done. And honestly? That feels like enough for this year.
