Every year I take pictures of my seed packs front back and even inside if more info is in there. I put them in categorized files on my phone and the next year I do the same. This is extremely valuable standing in the garden and need to know something about something. 🌱 #gardening

Salvia farinacea, or Mealycup Sage, was introduced to the garden trade in 1847 ànd now is sold as an annual in garden centers worldwide. It is only native to the south-central plains and Mexico, but there are other native salvias for almost every state. #SixonSaturday #nativeplants 🌱

🌱 White flowers symbolize hope. Megalomaniacs can't steal our hope unless we let them. Let's remind the world that we are strong. We will use our creative spirits to make good trouble. Let's flood the #bloomscrolling feed with white flowers to share our hope, determination and unity. #garden #Zone8b
