Down in the Garden
Our garden is always growing — sometimes wildly, sometimes carefully planned — and it’s one of our favorite places to be. From tips on raised beds and seasonal planting to stories about runaway cucumbers and soil-saving tricks, our garden blog is full of practical know-how and real-life experience, with plenty of joy sprinkled in.

Got piles of leaves? Don’t throw them away—use them. Leaf mulch is free, simple, and great for your soil. In this guide, we’ll show easy ways to turn fall leaves into garden gold with very little effort.
As the seasons shift, fall is the perfect time to prepare your garden for a fresh burst of color in the spring. Bulb planting and bed cleanup go hand in hand: by tucking away bulbs now and tidying your garden beds, you’ll set the stage for healthy growth and a beautiful display when warmer days return.
If your garden is full of perennials that are getting a little crowded or not blooming like they used to, it might be time to give them a little breathing room. Dividing perennials is a simple way to keep plants healthy, encourage more blooms, and expand your garden—without spending a dime on new plants!
🌿It's hard to believe summer is winding down — but now is the perfect time to give your garden a little love before the next season rolls in.
Welcome to the garden, friend! We’re Kevan and Bobby, two retired guys who traded work shoes for gardening gloves and haven’t looked back since. Out here in the South Carolina countryside, our days revolve around sunshine, soil, and the quiet joy that comes with watching things grow — whether it's heirloom tomatoes, flowers, or stubborn bamboo that thinks it owns the place.
