I love growing flowers, especially dahlias. They seem to be what makes me the happiest.

I have a cozy, tiny garden, but manage to grow plenty of beautiful flowers and food for my family.

I probably learn much more from my failures each year than what good right.🤗. youtube.com/@cocoonraw?s...

Starting to harden off the summer crops, finally hitting the 70s next week.

It’s almost planting time and I’m so ready.

Have you put your summer crops in the ground yet?

The first rose to open in the garden!

This is crown Princess Margareta from David Austin.

The fragrance is AAAAMAZING!
This are the moments that bring so much joy and makes me forget the not so good. I love them!

Guess who got to my dahlia?! Not slugs…

Ms. Kai sees green and thinks it is a bunny “snack”.🤣

I even had them propped up on a step still and she still managed to get to them.

Glad it was time to pinch them. 😎 #dahlias #growflowers #gardening #smallgarden

This space was forgotten for years. Now it feels so alive and cozy. I would love to know, what is one garden corner you have transformed (or want to)?

I will be working on my flower bed today. It is completely bare, but soon will be full of flowers!🌸

This is my absolute favorite tomato I grow every year. This the the orange accordion tomato heirloom.

They are beautiful, very large fruit and super meaty. You can barely get any seeds from each tomato. The best!🙌 #tomato #homesteading #gardening #growfood

I just ordered my favorite potatoes, blue potatoes, Adirondack blue.

They are delicious, nutty in flavor and the only ones we grow each year in my tiny garden. #potatoharvest #gardening #smallgarden #growfood

I will! 👌

Cocoon Raw @cocoonraw.bsky.social · Apr 8

I didn’t think I did either. But it has really helped it. We will see this year how it does. It will be interesting to see how much it produces.

I have waited 2 years and I got the first Meyer lemon from my dwarf tree this winter.

Even though I was told you don't need two trees, as soon as I got a second one, it began to give lemons.

Hoping for many more! #emon #fruittrees #gardening #suburbangardening #smallgarden

🌱 The seedlings are thriving this season!

I’m officially out of space. It’s a jungle! 😅
The non-stop rain has made it tough to move anything outside.

But don’t worry...

We’ve got a few days of sunshine on the horizon, and guess who’ll be outside soaking it up?

So beautiful! I can’t wait to see flowers again in the garden.

I can’t believe this was a few months ago in the fall and now I am ready to start setting up again. Welcome Spring!!!!🙌 #smallgarden #urbangarden #gardeningforbeginners

After being sick, I wasn’t sure I had the energy, but the garden reminded me why I started in the first place.

I did some planning for an edible and beautiful pot for this year. youtu.be/Q5CkcsaJKEI?...

If you're just getting back into your garden too—you're not behind.

You're right on time. 🌸

Morning Routine with Kai! Every morning after having her breakfast, she hops on the sofa as I am having my coffee and demands ear rubs. 🤣. Kai is quite the character… #bunny #homestead #urbanhomestead

Best time ever! The seedlings are thriving and providing them with fish emulsion has gotten them so much greener and more growth is visible. #fertilingplants #gardening #gardeningforbeginners

Just came into the grow room, and the ranunculus are popping through the soil — finally! It always feels like a small win, but also a reminder that beauty takes its sweet time.

Did you watch the YouTube video when I planted them? They looked rough.

What's starting to grow in your space right now?

Gorgeous!!!!

One of my favorite things to add to my tiny garden is the Greenstalk. I have 3 total, one in direct sun where I grow tomatoes and peppers and these two in semi shade to grow salad greens and cauliflower. I can’t get enough of them! #greenstalk #growfood #smallgarden #balconygardening

And the snow begins. And I was excited it was a warm winter so far and we may get an early Spring for a change. 😳 😆.

If you are looking for no pollination needed type of cucumber, I loved this one last year, and will be growing it again this year. The bees come very late since our cold weather has lasted well until June here. Need all the help I can get! #growfood #urbanhomestead #gardening

I can’t wait until my quails begin laying eggs again. Have you had quail eggs? They are delicious! #garden #urbanhomestead #quails

Growing flowers is so rewarding. Flowers around my kitchen garden has helped so much with attracting pollinators. It is my gift to them. I am about to start flower seeds this week. Have you started yours? #blooms #garden #flowers

It is the best!!! I run there every season, so much fun to explore.
