Flower Patch Farmhouse
Welcome to hands-on budget gardening tips, tricks, and unique solutions to gardening problems for home gardeners. Beginner gardeners, veteran gardeners, and those in between are welcome. I have gardened for 40+ years in different zones and have learned that there is no one-size-fits-all in gardening, even if you are in the same zone. Though I garden in Zone 8, I have a relatively short growing season and have adapted my gardening efforts to the circumstances present in my local area and climate conditions.
I love to grow easy perennials, annuals, and vegetables. Come on along, and let's garden!
