Got your attention, didn’t it? Just had to throw a plug for my super smart son’s (one of the FOUR super smart sons) new blog on investing Straight From The Owl’s Beak. Smart investing advice with a healthy dose of humor.
Good times are here again.

Garden Blogger’s Bloom Day – Feb. 15
Pink Erica, often called Mediterranean Heather, is a faithful winter bloomer in my Tennessee weather. |
Though not quite in bloom yet, the deep pink of the Pieris Japonica buds and stems in late winter are fabulous. |
EUPHORBIA! |
Blackbird Euphorbia remains one of my all-time favorite four season plants. And I taught plant-hunter Barry Yinger that this plant name needs to be sung, not just spoken so if you meet Barry, ask him to sing you a plant name. |
Quince |
Iberis or commonly called candytuft |
Bridal veil Spirea |

Baby’s Breath spirea that I bought from Petals from the Past |
This Chinese Snowball Viburnum bud looks a little devilish! |

Win A Potting Scoop from DeWit Garden Tools!
Check out this new potting scoop I was able to trial from DeWit Garden Tools. My friend, Shawna Coronado – a gal who “is making a difference by building social good with a sustainable lifestyle message” – helped to develop this tool drawing from her experience planting containers both for herself and others. I used mine last weekend when I was getting my garden beds ready for late winter plantings. The bag ripper notch is a fabulous addition to a potting scoop and the raised sides help hold more soil as I finished off filling up my planted containers. Heavy duty yet lightweight, this is a welcome addition to my gardening tools.
Here’s your chance to win this great new tool! Just enter through the Rafflecopter below and a winner will be randomly selected on February 10.
Congratulations to Jan Barnette on winning the DeWit Garden Tool!
