Dog vs. Yard 🐾🌱

If your pup’s mission in life is to dig up every square inch of lawn, we feel you.

Petey the dog literally destroyed this yard—but we fought back with a dog-proof makeover that’s genius AND gorgeous.

✨ Artificial turf (no p*e stains, no mowing!)

🪨 Rock mulch = zero digging

🌸 Pup-proof plants that bounce back

💧 Hidden drip irrigation = no chew targets

🎥 Bonus: Chip the dog filmed the whole thing with a GoPro.

Dog parents, this one's for you! Check out how we turned backyard chaos into calm, clean, canine-friendly bliss.

🌿 Low effort. High reward. My 4 Favorite Low-Maintenance Shrubs 😎

If you’re like me and think gardening should come with more naps and less pruning, meet your new best buds:

�👉 Teucrium chamaedrys ‘Prostratum” – A bright green ground-hugger that thrives with minimal water and maximum chill.

�👉 Laruus nobilis ‘Little Ragu’ – The compact, well-behaved cousin of the giant bay tree. Big flavor, small footprint.

�👉 Liriope ‘Silvery Sunproof’ – Tough, sun-and-shade loving, and too polite to grow out of bounds.

�👉 Juniperus procumbens ‘Nana’ – The groundcover MVP that stays low, looks good, and doesn’t ask for much.

These plants are perfect for small gardens, lazy gardeners, or anyone who’d rather relax than wrestle with hedge trimmers. 😴🌱

🚫 STOP buying sad, overpriced grocery store herbs!

Let’s talk about why growing your own herbs is the ultimate flex (and way easier than you think). 👇

💚 1. Fresh Herbs = Flavor Bombs�Once you taste homegrown basil or oregano, you’ll never go back. Seriously.

🌱 2. Good Soil is the Secret Sauce�Your herbs don’t want fancy fertilizer—they want rich, ALIVE soil full of worms, microbes, and all the good squirmy stuff. Lively soil naturally creates its own fertilizer for your herbs.

✂️ 3. Prune Like a Pro�Herbs love a haircut. Give them a snip, and they’ll grow back even better—like a green, leafy comeback story. New growth is often the most flavorful.

💦 4. Water Smart, Not Hard�Check the soil before you water. If it’s dry on top, go for it. If it’s soggy? Back away with the watering can.

🪴 5. Pot or Plot?�Herbs grow great in the ground or in containers. Just don’t plant mint in the wild unless you want a mint jungle takeover. (You've been warned.)

🔥 Bonus Move: Dry & Save It�Get the most use out of your delicious herbs by drying them - flavor all year long! (The process is super simple. Watch our herb video for the full walkthrough on how to do it yourself.)

Grow your own herbs. It’s fun, it’s tasty, and your pasta will thank you. 🍝💚

🍋 Want to grow a Lemon Arbor? Here's how we did it – and how you can too! 💛

1️⃣ Build a simple arbor – wood, metal, whatever you've got.

2️⃣ Plant your lemon trees – Lisbon, Eureka, or Ponderosa…any variety will work.

3️⃣ Train the branches – bend and tie them over the arch 1 or 2 times per year.

4️⃣ Prune once a year – remove tall, wild branches that don’t fit the shape.

5️⃣ Feed the soil – compost, worm castings, or John & Bob’s Blend + Pe*****te. Healthy, living soil ensures happy plants and fewer pest problems.

6️⃣ Be patient – in 2 to 3 years, you’ll start to have a something that resembles a lemon arbor.

▶️ Head over to our YouTube channel for the full breakdown!

➡️ Save this post if you're planning your own citrus-covered walkway. 🌿🙌
