🌱 September Planting Guide

• Start leafy crops early in the month to give them time to mature before hard frosts arrive.
• Use row covers to protect tender seedlings if temperatures drop suddenly.
• Divide and transplant perennials now so roots establish before winter.
• Space cool-season vegetables closely to shade soil and suppress weeds naturally.
• Mulch around new succulents to prevent sudden cold damage and retain warmth.
• Water consistently but reduce frequency as growth slows in cooler weather.
• Choose annuals labeled frost-tolerant to extend color late into the season.

🌻 Did you know sunflowers are heliotropic? That means they actually move to follow the sun across the sky—always seeking the light, always turning their face toward warmth and growth.

💛 Helen Keller’s beautiful words: “Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.” ✨

Just like sunflowers, we get to choose where we turn. Toward light. Toward hope. Toward joy.

A little lesson from nature—be a sunflower today.🌻

✂️🌿 Garden Hack: How to Clean & Sharpen Your Pruners the Easy Way! 🌿✂️

Keeping your pruners clean and sharp makes gardening easier, healthier for plants, and extends the life of your tools. Here’s a tried-and-true method every gardener loves!

🧴 Step 1: Remove Rust Naturally

1️⃣ Mix vinegar + 2 tbsp salt in a jar.
2️⃣ Submerge your rusty pruners.
3️⃣ Leave for 24 hours—you’ll see the rust bubble away!
4️⃣ Rinse, dry thoroughly, and oil lightly to prevent new rust.

🔪 Step 2: Sharpen for Precision Cuts

1️⃣ Take a sharpening stone or flat file.
2️⃣ Hold the pruners steady and follow the original bevel edge of the blade.
3️⃣ Sharpen with smooth strokes, always in the same direction.
4️⃣ Flip over and lightly remove burrs on the flat side.
5️⃣ Wipe clean and apply a drop of oil to keep blades gliding.

🌱 Why It Matters

✅ Sharp pruners make clean cuts = healthier plants with less risk of disease.
✅ Saves you effort—no more crushing stems.
✅ Extends the life of your favorite tools.

💡 Pro Tip: Wipe blades after every use with a cloth dipped in rubbing alcohol. This keeps them sharp, rust-free, and disinfected between plants.

🐝 Buzzing Stripey Things Guide – Know Your Friendly & Not-So-Friendly Flyers

🌼 Friendly Flyers (Mostly Harmless)

Honeybee – Excellent pollinator, makes honey, friendly unless provoked, needs our help the most.

Bumblebee – Very friendly, can sting multiple times, basically a flying fat panda, excellent pollinator.

Carpenter Bee – Males can’t sting but may act aggressive; important pollinators, more nuisance than threat.

Hoverfly – Can’t sting, wears a “bee uniform” for protection, may follow you if it likes you.

⚠️ Watch Out – Can Sting if Threatened

Paper Wasp – Scary-looking but not too dangerous unless provoked; builds paper-like nests; pollinators with no sense of personal space.

Yellow Jacket – Aggressive, minimal pollination, wants your food, can sting multiple times, sometimes fatal.

Hornet – Big, intimidating, mostly nests above ground; aggressive if provoked.

🕷 Special Mentions

Mud Dauber – Spider hunter, builds mud “organ pipe” nests, rarely aggressive, abandons nests.

Cicada Killer Wasp – Huge, scary-looking but only attacks cicadas; will sting if provoked.
