It’s on the stands NOW!
Pick up a copy , curl up with your cup of tea and forget about Winter.
Yes, that’s my little greenhouse and Rabbit Run Cottage on the cover of Country Gardens magazine!
A new year
Another year has rolled through in the garden.
How quickly the seasons slid from one to the next.
2013 was a year of extremes.
Snow and cold that did not want to end.
A Summer that came on hot and hotter.
Fall dropped in with cold, miserable weather.
And Winter, well it’s colder!
Happy New Year garden friends!
What shall I grow?
Seed catalogs have been arriving in the mailbox.
There are all ready lists of seeds to order.
What will I nurture in the greenhouse?
What will I repeat and what will I try new?
How will the kitchen garden be planted this year?
Polka dots
Rudbeckia gone to seed, gives texture to the Winter garden.
Zone 4
“Below normal temperatures”
I’ve tired of those words from the nightly weather reports.
I wonder how my Perennials will do with this year of extremes?
All is calm
Quiet Winter morning in the garden.
The hustle of Christmas behind me, a walk around the garden was the perfect way to start the day.
Merry Christmas
First Day Of Winter
It has all ready been a long, cold, snowy Fall!
What will Winter bring?
As the seed catalogs come in the mail, I began to garden plan on paper, though It will be months yet before a seed is planted in the greenhouse.
January brings a long awaited special moment for this gardener.
Watch for our garden in the Early Spring issue of Country Gardens magazine.
Pick up a copy and let me know what you think!
From my garden
A little wreath.
Twisted vines from the garden.
A sprig of Juniper.
A simple bow.
Rural practicality in practice.
Oops!
When it warms up this week, I have a few garden chores to take care of.
