With current laws, and current federal administration in place, I’m not trying to break any current laws or end up on a list if things change in the future.

That being said… it’s my fourth year of marriage (the “fruit and flowers” anniversary gift). I usually gift my husband something that resembles the “traditional or modern” gift of marriage and this year it is fruit, flowers and linen. I thought about getting him the gift of growing particular flowers and saw a variety called “wedding cake”.

I’ve already got all the growing stuff, my question is… how do you get the plants or seeds without ending up on some list? Are one of you willing to gift me a “wedding cake clone?”

Good morning!!

Just wanted to share a little advice I picked up this morning.

If you’re gardening indoors or out, mulch can be a good option to help your containers and beds retain moisture, extend the time between waterings and lower the risk of extreme dry backs. I didn’t know that city resources sometimes offer cheap or even free options for mulches and composts.

For instance, the city of Newport News offers mulches of different sizes and compost for prices ranging from $2/yard to $12/yard and free rough cut mulch to city residents who self pickup!

Hope this helps!! Post and show off your hauls or show us how your gardens are doing!
