Every gardener knows this feeling…

pulling perfectly good plants.

This was my zinnia bed last year, and they reseeded themselves like crazy—my Floret Flower Farm varieties.

But this bed is already planted in strawflowers, and I know if I leave them, they’ll take over.

So I’m saving a few while they’re small and moving them…

and thinning the rest.

I don’t love it.

But honestly… it’s a little like life.

Not everything good belongs in the same space.

Sometimes you make room for what you planned…
and sometimes you move good things somewhere they can actually flourish.

Now that’s BombDiggity.

#cutflowergarden #zinnias #strawflowers #farmingafter50 #flowergarden

They all came back! Now what!?! #zinnias #flowergardening

Start by designing your spaces around how you want to feel.

Before we planted a single thing, we asked ourselves that question—
and then we built this greenhouse from there.

A place to slow down.
To work side by side.
To have real conversations in between watering and planting.

It’s not perfect, but it’s ours.

The flowers are coming…
but this part right here might be the best part.

Now that’s BombDiggity.

When I step into the greenhouse, I want to feel surrounded by beauty—not stressed trying to keep up with it.

So this year, we skipped the fussy stage and went with flower plugs. Strong starts, less babysitting, and blooms so much faster.

Lisianthus, dahlias, ranunculus, gomphrena… all coming in beautifully.

It’s already becoming one of my favorite spaces.

Now that’s BombDiggity.

We celebrate Easter every year… but this is why it matters.

Because of the Cross, we are set free.
Because of His blood, all sin is covered.
Because the tomb is empty, death did not win.
And because He lives, we get to live in that resurrection life too.

That’s the gift of Easter.
Freedom. Forgiveness. Life that never ends.

#FarmSunday Easter Sunday - Why We Celebrate Easter #heisrisen #devotional

If you’ve got rosemary growing, you don’t need to keep buying more.

I’ll cut a piece, clean up the bottom, dip it in a little rooting hormone, and stick it straight into soil.

Keep it lightly damp, give it some light, and give it a little time.

It’s simple… and it adds up faster than you think.

Saves you money and fills out your garden.

Now that’s BombDiggity.

FULL DEVOTIONAL 🔗 https://sweetbombdiggityfarms.com/farmsunday-we-shout-hosanna/

During Christmas, we celebrate the arrival of Jesus as a baby.
On Palm Sunday, we remember another arrival—Jesus entering Jerusalem as King.

The crowds waved palm branches and shouted, “Hosanna!”
A word filled with meaning… both praise and a plea.

Some were celebrating.
Others were crying out, “Lord, save us now.”

And if we’re honest, we still do both.

We celebrate who He is.
And we bring Him everything we’re carrying.

He came to forgive, redeem, and restore—then and now.

Hosanna in the highest!

#Marchinginwithcasseroles Collaboration + Prizes!

Not all casseroles are savory… and this one might be my favorite.

This strawberry shortcake skillet cobbler is one of those desserts that feels special but couldn’t be easier to make. Fresh strawberries get all bubbly and sweet, and that golden topping bakes right up over the top in a cast iron skillet.

It’s so simple and it’s just about perfect for Easter or any spring gathering.

Serve it warm with whipped cream or ice cream… or eat it warm right out of the skillet either way, it’s gone before you know it.

Now that’s BombDiggity!
