We chatted with Buddy Valastro, star of TLC’s Cake Boss, about building a fulfilling career, finding balance and advice he’d give his daughter. Here’s what he had to say! 1. Carlo’s Bakery was a family business and you worked there beginning at a young age, alongside your father. What values did he instill in you? I basically grew up at the bakery. I was at my father’s side everyday learning from him. He taught me the importance of working hard, of never giving up. He told me not to listen to people who said I couldn’t do it. Not only did he teach me everything I know about baking, but he was a great businessman and he taught me how to run and grow a business. 2. How does it feel to continue the family business and take it to new levels of success? I am so proud to be able to carry on and grow the business that my father started. You know, I was just 17 when I took over the bakery and not everybody thought I could keep it afloat without my father. Not only did I keep it going, I worked to grow the bakery into […]

You know how to care for your lawn, but how about your mower? Mowers need some TLC after sitting in a cold shed or garage all winter long. Before grass-growing season gets into full swing, show your mower some love by giving it a tune-up and blade sharpening. Performing some regular maintenance on your lawn mower is a pretty simple affair, and will make lawn care easier all season long. Doing the proper maintenance on each system involved in the engine of your lawn mower is half the battle. Most small gas engines have six basic systems that work together: fuel, exhaust, ignition, combustion, cooling, and lubrication. Lawn mowers also have blades that need to be maintained and sharpened, which can be done by a professional, or at home with the right tools. To cover your bases, you'll want to check all fuel lines and filters, cleaning and replacing them when necessary. Spark plugs and wiring can get dirty and loose over a season, so make sure those are in working order before your grass has its first growth spurt in the Spring. And then feed your mower right—invest in the fuel additives that will help it run most efficiently. The payoff for your attentiveness to lawn mower maintenance will definitely worth the effort. Treat your mower well, and it will reward you with greater efficiency, better handling, and a fresher-looking lawn. Not sure where to start? Here, we've compiled an essential guide for keeping your mower—and your grass—growing strong all season.

Is your garden overflowing with zucchini? Learn the many ways you can preserve zucchini so you can enjoy the abundant harvest during the winter months.
Hyacinths are popular over-the-winter blooms for an impressive list of reasons - they offer delightful color in the middle of a dreary winter season, they fill our homes with an intoxicating fragrance, and they are gorgeous blooming bulbs that are simple to force indoors for a touch of spring when we most need it. But once you’ve brought your hyacinth inside and been rewarded with their fun display, they still need a little bit of TLC in order to survive to keep blooming in seasons to come. Thankfully, bulbs planted in soil can easily recycle their nutrients for another year of blooms if you guide them through the process, so it’s surprisingly simple to keep your hyacinth happy! However, if you’ve forced bulbs using only water, you may want to toss those in the compost pile, as they won’t have enough nutrients reserved to bloom again. Hyacinth blooms might be gorgeous, but they don’t exactly need extensive pampering to make it to the warmer spring weather.
Do containers really need that much care, or is it just a lot of hype? That’s when I decided to embark on an experiment. Learn more on Jennifer Benner's tips, here.

So … when is the last time I fully blogged??? OMG!!! Forever. I told myself after the quints came home that I was going to keep the blog up weekly like I had been and then…the real life…
by David Rodriguez I used to HATE geraniums. I thought they were the biggest public rip-off that a plant could be. People purchased them in the early spring when those big beautiful blooms were prolific and enjoyed them for several months until the heat of late spring or early summer arrived. Sometimes in Texas, “spring” only lasts for a couple of weeks before the HELL of summer arrives. After the heat starts, the geraniums look terrible and even bloomless!! People try to nurse them through until the cool... Read More →

Calathea makoyana, aka Peacock Plant or Cathedral Windows, as it is more commonly known, is a wonderful plant that can be known to grow up to 2ft in height when cared for correctly. Originally from Brazil, this plant is part of the Prayer Plant family and therefore requires some extra TLC to thrive. For best results, keep your Calathea in an Eastern or Northern exposure or a few feet away from a Western or Southern exposure. Keep the soil evenly moist at all times and provide adequate humidity via misting, grouping with other plants, or using a humidity tray. Fertilize once per month during the growing season. Calatheas can also be a little sensitive to salts in tap water- if you find that their leaves are browning along the edges or at the tips, it could be due to salt accumulation. You can remedy this by providing them filtered water or rainwater. Live plants available for Store Pickup or Local Delivery only. Pots sold separately. Shop our Pots + Planters collection here!
