I’ll take it!
Getting ready to make it a productive work day in the garden!
Now, where did I put my gloves?

Spring Maintenance
With sunshine, a day of garden and yard work is ahead.
A truck of mulch is waiting in the driveway, along with grass seed.
Chicken coops and critter pens to clean.
Greenhouse window cleaning, followed by fence scraping.
A simple country life–not today!
And just incase your wondering, this is not my house!!!
The Nest
The anticipation of warmer weather–again!
Needing to prick seedlings, sow more seeds, clean perennial beds, scrub bird feeders…
Feathering my nest.
The calm
Before the day of garden chores.
A warm, windy day on the horizon.
I will take it, however it arrives.
Spring garden chores
Don’t be fooled by this sunshine in the garden. The temperature is 25 degrees with a wind howling from the North. The snow has melted from the garden this past week, but the forecast is calling for more later this week.
The chickens are so happy the snow is disappearing, they showed their appreciation by laying a few eggs!
Piled High
Winter has been an experience this season.
Morning chores to feed a horse, donkey, chickens and ducks, met me with a calm 30 degree temperature.
It feels warm, it feels like the cold has broken, it feels like Spring will come!
The snowdrifts are deep and covering everything. To get to the greenhouse I have to circle around to the back gate.
But the trudging is worth it!
A sanctuary just waiting to be filled with seedlings and plants.
It truly is my happy place.
I miss this
Let’s move this thing
This little wagon is handy to have around the garden.
When the plants are ready to leave the greenhouse, I can load up the wagon and pull them around to the garden beds.
I made the wagon a little sign, just for fun.
On the workbench
The garden gloves will rest here until next year.
Seed storage
We had our first official frost last night in the garden.
The cold is a wake up call to move at a faster pace around the garden.
I still have so much to do before the garden is put to bed.
Today I will organize my heirloom tomato seeds, while I wait for the temperature to warm a bit.
I have considered offering some of my favorite Heirloom Tomato seeds on my Etsy shop.
Would love some feedback from all of my garden friends–
