Growing More, With Less
Welcome to TigreBlume In The Garden!
Happy October, Gardening Friends! 🥧🎃🍂
Although the outdoor growing season is starting to wind down for many of us, our passion for growing doesn't have to! October is the perfect month to slow down, look back, and take in all the wins, harvests, and lessons learned over the past few months.
The garden always teaches us, but let’s be honest—sometimes we don’t sit still long enough in it to actually catch the lesson. Whether you had a record-breaking harvest or a few crop failures that left you scratching your head, it’s all part of the journey.
Just like in life, when things don't go as planned, we dust ourselves off and try again! There is so much to be thankful for, and I’m already using this season's lessons as fuel to start planning for an even better growing season ahead.
I am so excited about the 2027 growing season! I’m looking forward to continuing to expand my growing palette, trying out new plant varieties, and experimenting with unique ways to maximize food production in my unconventional growing spaces. Best of all, I’m preparing a lot of exciting content to help make your garden planning and seed starting so much easier!
Happy Growing!

Plant Review Preview
Today, I'm giving you a sneak peak into an ongoing series where I share honest, real-talk reviews of new plant varieties I’ve tested in my growing spaces throughout the season. Today, we are diving into a very special flower that I was finally able to get my hands on earlier this year: a stunning, unique variety of black-eyed Susan that isn't yellow or orange... this one actually blooms in the most breathtaking, bright shade of white.

What I’m Often Reaching For These Days…
Being out in the garden is nothing short of therapeutic for me. Whenever I am feeling stressed, anxious, or just need a quiet moment to get some clarity, I escape to the garden. There is something profoundly grounding about relaxing and unwinding by getting my hands in the dirt, harvesting a fresh basket of food and flowers, or simply giving the plants a long drink of water at the end of the day.
As I spend more time outside, my routine has naturally evolved. Before I step out into the garden lately, there is one specific accessory I have been reaching for more than ever: my new gardening sleeves (pictured to the left). It took a rather frustrating, month-long search to track down the perfect pair earlier this summer, but I am so glad I held out.

Why?
When you are deep into pruning vines or tending to raised beds, the last thing you want is restrictive, uncomfortable gear. What I love most about these gardening sleeves is how incredibly comfortable they are to wear for hours at a time. The material is exceptionally soft and breathable, and rather than trapping heat, they actively keep my arms cool while I am working under the hot sun.
Just as importantly, they are completely effortless to slip on and off. You never have to fight, tug, or stretch the material to pull them away when you are done. The manufacturer also notes that the fabric provides built-in UV protection from the sun, which is a fantastic bonus for anyone who tends to lose track of time while out among the plants.
To give you a closer look at how they fit and function in action, I put together a quick two-minute video demonstrating these features with my own personal pair.
I genuinely always have them with me when I step out into the garden now! If you are in the market for a reliable pair to protect your arms this season, check them out at the link below, where you can find more specific product details.

A Quick Sizing Tip: I typically wear a size Medium in long-sleeve shirts. However, I decided to go one size up and ordered these gardening sleeves in a Large. That ended up being the perfect choice, as they fit beautifully without being overly tight. I wanted to share this little detail, as I know how difficult it can be to determine when it is best to size up when ordering online!
