Spring blooms make my heart sing! This spring flower project-cool weather planter are plants I’ve chosen that are cold weather tolerant, which makes them a great choice for those cool spring days and nights, but still providing you with beauty until things warm up. This recycleable spring planter is also cost efficient as the plants can be reused with proper care when done blooming! I’ve placed my spring planter south facing but not in direct sun. The overhang of my roof is quite large and provides protection from full sun.
They are also perennial (hyacinth and ranunculus) or can be brought indoors or divided after the growing season (primula).
Most primulas do best in partial shade, with moisture-retentive soil. Primulas absorb a lot of water and need soil that is constantly moist. Check the soil every couple of days to make sure that it is moist at a depth of 1 inch. Primulas are quite hardy but they don’t like harsh direct sunlight as the plant can heat up too much (temperatures higher than 18 degrees Celsius or 64 F).Primulas can take frost and will provide you with an abundance of colour until things warm up. They will bloom throughout the summer and the flowers can be deadheaded when they’re done blooming to encourage more blooms which also prevents it from going to seed. Plants can be grown indoors when they are located in a window with strong — but not direct — light. They can last up to a few months indoors. Or you can dig up the plant and divide it.
Hyacinths are beautiful spring blooming bulbs that have an incredible fragrance. For the largest flowers and straightest stems, plant your hyacinths in full sun. The bulbs will also flower in light shade or half-day sun but won’t grow as tall. Once the leaves start to emerge, it takes about 3 weeks for the flowers to open. One hung to note: hyacinth bulbs are poisonous to pets. Hyacinths bloom just once per year (in the spring), but they will happily bloom again in subsequent years if provided with the proper care. They are a perennial plant.
Rununculas are cool seasons flowers that are so beautiful and remind me of roses. Their rose-like petals are thin and delicate. Ranunculas like a bright location but don’t like direct sunlight and don’t do well in high temperatures. They can be planted in part sun or part shade. You can save the ranunculas bulb (called a corm) after the growing season and with proper care can replant it again next year for more beautiful blooms.

Bring touches of green to your home with beautiful, easy Diy St. Patrick’s Day decor ideas. ☘️
(This post contains affiliate links. If you purchase a product or service with the links that I provide I may receive a small commission. There is no additional charge to you!)
Adding touches of green with fresh greenery through plants and a boxwood wreath for a St. Patrick’s Day mantle:
Brass candle holders, brass on the plant containers and gold wrapped chocolate coins add a festive flair.
Small decorative chalk boards can be switched out and changed with chalk markers for any type of holiday.
This is a beautiful and simple St. Patrick’s Day wreath. The boxwood wreath is still fresh and green from when I purchased it at Christmas. I sprayed it with Wilt Pruf which is fantastic for keeping fresh greens lasting for months. I wrapped a simple shamrock garland around it to add a. St. Patrick’s touch.
Adding candles makes decorating easy, with changing up the colours and candle holders. Or keep the candle holders and just switch out the colours for different decorating themes.
Description on the back of the bottle: Extreme moisture loss from plants causes severe wilting, shock or plant failure. It strikes: in winter when drying winds and frozen ground deprive plants of their natural moisture intake; when plant roots are disturbed during transplanting; during periods of drought; or when Christmas trees and greens are cut. Wilt-Pruf forms a clear, flexible film without interfering with growth. One application will last three to four months. Wilt Pruf can be purchased here.

I love make ahead appetizers! I love them because I’m not missing out on anything when the game or the party starts. Here you’ll find the best make ahead game day appetizers or appetizers for any event throughout the year.
They’re the best because they not only taste delicious, but they’re easy to make and/or you can make them ahead of time(or at least the bulk of the recipe ahead of time). These recipes also make delicious additions to your meal planning for the weekl
Once you cut the kielbasa and pineapple all you have to do is assemble the bites, mix up the glaze and bake. Easy peasy make ahead appetizer.

I know so many people are hesitant to build a cheese board because of the cost and I’m here to show you it can be amazing without being super expensive. In fact, you can build a pretty impressive board for just around $25 that will feed and please 8 or more guests.
Sometimes you need an easy vegetarian appetizer recipe in your back pocket that looks fancy, but is so basic that you can prepare it in minutes. This no-meat Easy Stuffed Mushrooms recipe is fantastically simple to prepare and you may even have all of the ingredients in your refrigerator as we speak!
