Planning

It’s possible to block out the very cold temperatures if you began the process of planning the garden!

Several years ago I started documenting my favorite varieties with images.

Colors so vibrant you can almost smell and taste them.

If your looking for a flavorful and highly productive variety;

Here is one of my recommendations.

Heirloom Woodle Orange

This orange is nearly perfectly round and is wonderful sliced.

Small seeds and a fruit that holds together.

5 stars and a thumbs up!

Add this to your list.

Waste Not

Just 30 days ago we carried in the Christmas Tree.

Today it feels good to clean up and start the new year.

The boughs of the tree make great insulation for the garden.

The branches are quick to dry and slow to decompose.

The pine boughs are a natural, mold free alternative to mulch and leaves.

In the spring the branches will make wonderful kindling for bonfires.

Only 78 days until Spring!

Planning

A Gardener is always planning.

Which varieties will I grow?

When should I start seeds?

These tasks help me through the winter months.

The soil rests but my mind is busy.

A new notebook is ready for my gardening ideas and plans.

Some changes are coming to the blog this year,

I will continue to share images and gardening tidbits,

but adding some project ideas that I hope you will find interesting.

Stop by next year!
