Bachelor’s Button
Growing Red, Blue and Black Boy –Bachelor’s Buttons this year.
The greenhouse
Nothing better than a warm greenhouse.
Can’t wait!
Stonecrop
Stonecrop is the common name for the large plant family of Sedum
“known for their foliage, flowers, hardiness and variety”
Perfect!
I have been adding new plants each year, and now have lot’s of Mother plants to take cuttings from.
I fill flats with a sand and soil-less potting mix.
Tuck in all the little cuttings, and wait patiently in the greenhouse.
When they resist a little tug–they are ready for either a larger pot–or right to the garden.
The Pickery
Provided many cut flowers this past garden season.
Zinnia’s add such a punch of color.
Thyme
Rabbit Run Cottage–the story
5 years ago we “dropped” our little garden shed
into a weed patch of our new property.
I had little time to ponder the placement of the beloved shed–I was just grateful it had made the journey.
I knew it was the beginning of my garden.
A garden I had dreamed of nearly my entire adult life.
So let’s take a little peak back in time–and see how Rabbit Run Cottage was created.
Tea Parties Daily
Its colors are more muted for the garden, and the play kitchen was retired. A pile of pillows, quilts and books are in the loft. Lucy is very gracious in sharing her little house with me.
Thought I’d repost this from last year….
It’s a good time to start planning those Spring projects!
Hope this gives you a little inspiration.
Foxglove
I hope the foxglove self seed this Spring…
but just in case–I will start more in the greenhouse.
A little difficult to grow in zone 4, but worth the effort.
Collections
Some of my vintage garden sprinklers.
Sweet, pretty peas
I’m continuing with my garden inspiration images this month.
With snow all around me, I would rather look at pretty garden peas.
