The last sunflowers of Summer! 🌻 This one is so bittersweet for me because I’m about to pull out my sunflower bed to make room for collards and Brussels. But, that’s life, and gardening. It’s been a glorious season!!! 💛🌼💛www.bloomjoygarden.com

Organic pest control- squash bugs 🐞 started scurrying away and I went hunting to protect my vines! I used neem oi and insecticidal soap mixed with water to spray on my plants- in the evening so I didn’t disrupt the pollinators 🐝

Final stages of putting in my new flower bed! Wetting down the cardboard that I put on for w**d suppression helps you work with it so much more easily!!! And, fighting those bugs is NO JOKE!!!! www.bloomjoygarden.com

How I put in my new flower bed! I recommend recycling old cardboard boxes to hinder grass growth. It’s better for your soil that landscape fabric and will eventually break down! www.bloomjoygarden.com
