Today I had the pleasure of speaking at our local library.
I love herbs and hopefully inspired some gardeners to start a culinary herb garden.
Little starter pots of herbs can be kept from drying out under a little overturned canning jar.

What A Tool
Keeping all those tools close by for garden work with a vintage tote.
I’m not going to lie, I can’t locate my favorite clippers!
How do you keep those tools handy?
It Starts
Ready, Set, Grow!
Busy in the garden!
Raking out garden beds and getting the raised beds ready for seeds and plants!
Hours outdoors are leaving me tired and happy each night.
I’ve lost one pair of garden gloves all ready!
Daylily Chores
When the lilies are in bloom, I dead head each evening.
It’s a quiet, peaceful garden chore that I rather enjoy.
In the morning I’m greeted with fresh looking plants ready to open more flowers for the day.
Reminder
“Sitting quietly, doing nothing.
Spring comes and the grass grows, by itself”.

Waiting For First’s
The first little flower that will appear in my garden.
Soft lavender flowers on the Creeping Phlox.
They are the beginning I always wait for.
Twig Tasks
Honeysuckle vines and pussy willows make wonderful twiggy wreaths.
April Arrives
The peony beds are cleared and I can’t wait for the pretty, spicy flowers again.
