It's What's Up Wednesday!

I wanted to ask you a favor, friends. We live in a day and age where attention spans grow shorter and people who actually read seem to be few and far between. Everything is bite-sized videos. So, I’m always a little impressed with our readers here at Rural Sprout. 

Here’s what I want you to do. 

If you know anyone else who would appreciate being part of this great little corner of the internet, please send them our way. The more gardeners, the merrier. Share our articles on your Facebook feed or forward a newsletter to a friend with a green thumb. Or even a friend without a green thumb, maybe after reading Rural Sprout for a bit, they will have a green thumb. Thanks!

And for this What’s Up Wednesday, I wanted to address something that happens every fall, and how I wish it would happen right now instead. 

Christmas cactus emails. 

Every fall, I get so many from folks asking how to get their plant to bloom for the holidays. I always feel bad because if you want lots of Christmas cactus blooms, what you need to do actually starts right now – in late winter.
