Texas gardeners: don’t wait for the first freeze. Get your plant protection ready before you need it.
I’m checking out Vego Garden Cloches as a reusable option for protecting leafy plants, shielding young seedlings from changing weather, and getting an early start on the next growing season. They’re made from thick polycarbonate with smooth edges and BASF UV protection, and they’re designed to be reused season after season.
They’re currently available for pre-order, so reserve yours now and be ready before the temperatures drop.
Would you use a cloche to protect your fall garden or start seedlings early?

Not today, chaos.
I choose peace.
I choose growth.
I choose petals.If you need me, I’ll be right here, blooming louder than the noise.

"Day 2 update
I refilled Mel’s Fresh Mint Mist indoors, then headed out to the garden.
One adult stink bug on a leaf got a direct spray — he was stunned and agitated.
Next, I sprayed the nymphs clustered on the tomato 🍅. Some fell, others looked disheveled.
I’ve adjusted the potency, so let’s see how it all pans out by Day 4 👀💚Follow this 4‑part series and share with a gardening friend🥰

It’s war in the garden! ⚔️ These tiny stink bug nymphs might look small, but they mean business. I’m putting this fresh mint mist to the test to protect my hard-earned tomatoes. Stay tuned for the results! Are you team natural remedies or store-bought sprays?
