In my almost 30 year gardening life, I learned a lot through trial and error. Here are five things I learned from planting container gardens wrong.🌸

🌸 Choosing the Wrong Container Size - Initially, I used containers that were too small for the plants I wanted to grow. This restricted root growth and limited the plants’ ability to thrive. Particularly in the summer when they would dry out real quick! I learned that larger containers provide more room for roots to spread and access water and nutrients more effectively.

🌸 Inadequate Drainage - One of my early mistakes was not ensuring proper drainage. Without adequate drainage, water would accumulate, leading to root rot and unhealthy plants. 

🌸 Poor Soil Choice - way back in the beginning, I didn’t realize there was a difference and used regular garden soil in my containers, thinking it would work just fine. However, garden soil tends to compact in containers, which hinders root growth and water penetration. Switching to a high-quality potting mix made specifically for containers improved plant health significantly. 
🌸 Lack of Fertilization - I assumed that the nutrients in the potting mix would be sufficient for the entire growing season. However, container plants need regular feeding because nutrients in the soil get washed out every time you water. Then I started incorporating a balanced, slow-release fertilizer so it is set and forget while keeping flowers happy and healthy through the growing season. And they’ve thrived ever since. 
🌸 Not Watering Well - Overwatering and underwatering were common issues I faced. I would either drown the plants or let them dry out completely. I learned to monitor the soil moisture levels regularly and adjust my watering schedule based on the specific needs of each plant. But the real game changer? Setting up drip irrigation set on timers.

Do you remember way back when @hgtv used to have gardening programs on? Don’t you miss their garden programming? There was this one show called “A Gardeners Diary”…have you seen it before? One of the gardeners featured shared a tour of his gardens and described his attitude toward growing flowers and it really resonated with me.🌸

He spoke about the motel theory of gardening. And it goes like this…Our gardens are like a motel. Some plants check in, love it and stay. While others check in, don’t love it and leave. That literally changed my whole attitude toward growing things because it takes the stigma out of losing flowers and plants we want to grow but weren’t successful with. 🌸

And because this perspective really resonated with me, I have taken this with me throughout my gardening life. So the next time, you get down on yourself about that plant that didn’t do well, remember that plant just didn’t love it and left. 🌸

Yep, you heard that right! You DON’T have to start everything from seed to enjoy an easy-to-grow flower-filled space. 🌸 Head to your local nursery this spring and grab some plants that are ALREADY BLOOMING for low-maintenance care and instant gratification! 🌼 If you are feeling influenced to start flowers from seed this year, let yourself off the hook because you can grow the easiest flower garden without ever starting a seed! I’ve been growing flowers for almost 30 years and most of my gardens were designed with perennials, annuals, shrubs, vines, and trees that I bought from my local nursery. Here’s why! * Instant blooms = instant happiness! Who wants to wait months for color? * Less stress: No more worrying about germination rates or leggy seedlings. * Saves time: Skip the seed starting setup, the daily watering, and the constant worry! ⏱️ * Support local growers: Nurseries are treasure troves of healthy, ready-to-plant flowers. * Learn as you go: Observe how different plants thrive in YOUR garden. * Avoid disappointment: No more seedlings getting eaten by wildlife or seeds that just won’t sprout leaving you with nothing. * Worried about cost? Starting seeds takes time, supplies, and sometimes fails. A few healthy plants give you a head start! Seed starting is really fun to do and something I recommend if you really enjoy gardening. But if you just want to cozy up your porch or want a small patch of flowers, I am a huge proponent of keeping things simple with quick wins so you enjoy the journey.

Tired of weeding? I get you - I am too. What if I told you there’s a way to get more flowers and less weeds? 🌼

Groundcovers are low-maintenance landscaping heroes if you want to do a little less work weeding and mulching in your flower gardens. They effectively suppress weeds, prevent erosion, and add a beautiful layer of texture and color to your flower beds.🌼

But beyond their practical benefits, many groundcovers also boast stunning blooms throughout the season and add year round interest too.🌼

If you’re looking to add a touch of floral flair to your landscape while minimizing upkeep, then look no further than groundcovers that bloom! There are lots to choose from and the best part? They are easy to grow!🌼

Now I say this with one caveat. It’s really important you check with your local cooperative extension to make sure whatever you plant is not on your state or country’s invasive list. Cause the last thing you want to do is plant a garden thug that will take over your garden, your neighbor’s garden, or local ecosystem. So always know before you grow!🌼 For a list of groundcovers that bloom head over to my blog here: https://stacyling.com/easy-groundcovers-that-add-year-round-interest/

Speedwell is an excellent addition to any deer-resistant garden. This beautiful perennial not only adds vibrant purple blooms to your garden but also stands up well to deer browsing, making it a smart choice for areas where deer pressure is high. 💜 It is super easy to grow and looks so pretty too! I mean look at those gorgeous thick rosy purple blooms that almost look like wands! 💜 Speedwell is less appealing to deer because of its slightly bitter taste and foliage texture. Deer typically avoid plants that are not palatable to them, and speedwell falls into this category. Additionally, deer tend to steer clear of plants with strong scents or rough, fuzzy leaves, which are characteristics often found in deer-resistant plants.💜 Hardy in zones 4-8, plant this perennial in part to full sun in well-draining soil for the best performance. Speedwell is crazy easy to grow thriving in well-drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade. Once established, it requires minimal care, making it a perfect choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners. Regular deadheading can promote additional blooms, but even without it, the plant maintains a tidy appearance. It’s one of the many reasons I love to grow it!💜 Speedwell blooms long from late spring to mid-summer. This ensures that your garden remains colorful and attractive for an extended time, providing continuous visual interest while keeping the deer at bay.💜 Plant shown is Magic Show Purple Illusion Speedwelll 💜 Save this post and share it with a friend who would love these flowers.

Starting my seeds off with some supplemental lighting to avoiding them getting too leggy this year. 🦵🌱 *when a seedling doesn’t have enough light it will reaaaachhh and grow thin, unsupportive stems!* It’s not much (at all) but it’s better than nothing and I can tell the seedlings are already responding to the extra light. 🌿✨  I just got a full spectrum affordable grow bulb from the hardware store and popped into a lamp I already had on hand! It’s also pretty charming, I must admit! 🥰 Let me know about your affordable gardening hacks this year so I can try them out with you! ❤️ #gardening #gardeninglife #gardeningtips #seedstarting #growlights #cozyhomedecor

Replying to @catastrophickaty Tomato season is just around the corner here in Florida! 🍅✨ In my zone, January is the perfect time to start slicer tomato seeds—but with our high frost potential, it’s best to start them indoors. 🌱 If you’re gardening in Florida, determinates are a great choice for our short tomato season—they’re quick to fruit and perfect for squeezing in before the heat hits. Ready to grow your best tomatoes this year? Let’s get planting! #TomatoSeason #FloridaGardening #UrbanHomestead #GrowYourOwnFood #TomatoTips #Zone9b #BackyardGardening #SustainableLiving #GardeningLife #heirloomtomatoes #seedstarting
Owning my beautiful mess- spills in the kitchen, dirt under my nails from gardening, the hum of bees in the apiary, and the imperfect beauty of crafting herbal remedies. This life isn’t about perfection; it’s about embracing the spills, smiles, laughter, and love that come with it- while trusting God’s hand in it all. Perfectly imperfect, exactly as He created me to be. These aren’t flaws; they’re gifts. Here’s to finding joy in the process and celebrating the beauty of the journey, one herb, one seed, and one mess at a time. #herbalism #gardeninglife #beekeeping #faithfilledliving #rootedinfaith #perfectlyimperfect  #trusttheprocess
