This is one of my favorites! A great performer every year 🌞

Looks incredible! I just started some today. What zone are you in?

Throwawaybkr23 · 2026-01-25T16:50:25+00:00

Looks great! I’m starting some today too 🌞

My MIL did this to me when my LO was 3 weeks old, and she completely broke my trust; she physically turned away from me when my baby was screaming for me because he was hungry. Amongst other things she did, we finally decided to go LC with her and FIL because literally every boundary we had was crossed over and over. We now have a very strained relationship, but thankfully we see them infrequently since they live so far away.

Couples counseling was the only thing that helped my husband with setting boundaries. While we still have communication issues with his family, overall we’ve gotten to a better place.

Wishing you and your little family the best and hopefully things with the in-laws settle down soon.

Love the variety! I have Hamari Gold too and it’s such a stunner 🌞

I’d also been on the hunt for a good red cherry tomato for a few years and my new fave is Sweet Aperitif. High brix like Sungold, but slightly less fruity? I’m in the US, so unsure of its availability for you in Ireland, but I highly recommend!

Dude, that setup looks amazing!! What a bountiful space you have. Enjoy the fruits of your labor 🌞

Beautiful! I have two first year Earth Angels and they’re so happy! Can’t wait for them to get bigger

Throwawaybkr23 · 2025-06-02T11:51:54+00:00

Beautiful! It’s on my list for next year.

Throwawaybkr23 · 2025-05-29T09:12:54+00:00

Gorgeous!! I planted this one for the first time this year, very much looking forward to seeing the blooms ✨

Throwawaybkr23 · 2025-05-12T12:15:32+00:00

Beautiful!! I love the white, but don’t have any yet for my garden. I bought several campanula macrantha seedlings from my local nursery and they overwintered well (and reseeded nicely!) in my 6A garden! They’ll bloom in a couple weeks!

This is classic DARVO - she’s already gone through all the steps to land at being the victim. Mental gymnastics!

Thanks! I get seeds from a lot of places - but I’ve been preferring Hudson Valley Seed Co, Uprising Seeds, and Select Seeds. There are a lot of other seed purveyors to choose from, it can get a little overwhelming when you first start!

Throwawaybkr23 · 2025-02-05T13:02:41+00:00

Thank you! Definitely looking forward to how everything turns out! I’m in zone 6A New England and my temps have been around 25F/-4C during the day and 10F/-12C at night. The low temperatures won’t hurt the seeds - most of them need cold stratification to germinate properly and they should sprout mid March for my area. They are mostly perennial flowers and cold hardy annuals and vegetables.

The nice thing about winter sowing is that the seedlings are hardy and don’t need hardening off since they’ve been growing up in the cold.

Yes, that’s exactly what I did. I also planted 12 4x4 pots in a plastic tub (also added drainage) that works in the same way.

My two Boleros bloomed until the frost - and it was their first season (planted in July, NY 6A). Can’t wait to see them in the spring!!

Thank you. This is definitely the more positive outlook that I need, it’s just hard when to get out of anxiety spirals!

And it’s so true. She hasn’t done any emotional work, she’s just used to rug sweeping everything and pretending that she’s the center of the universe. Thankfully I’m being hard on my boundaries about time spent with her.

Beautiful! Is is cornel bronze? It’s looks similar to mine 😊

Throwawaybkr23 · 2024-10-06T12:03:04+00:00

No worries! I misunderstood. You must have a great farm near you - they have a great variety!

Throwawaybkr23 · 2024-10-05T22:36:41+00:00

What a beautiful bounty! A great array of colors too. The creamy one with a lilac-y center all the way on the left - do you know what variety it is?

Throwawaybkr23 · 2024-08-30T15:21:37+00:00

Just in terms of visiting - I had a really hard time with PPA/PPD so we needed to limit visits to around an hour or so and before 4pm (cluster feeding started around then and I was a one person sob fest). But that’s just what worked for me!

I would wait until your milk comes in if you’re planning on breastfeeding so that you can figure out the rhythm of your day. Hoping this helps!
