There is nothing like the quiet process of placing seed to soil.

A Look Back
The garden started when we moved our beloved little Rabbit Run Cottage from our old home.
It survived the trip and was slid off the trailer into a weedy patch of property.
By the end of the first garden season we had cleaned up the weeds and began the work of making a garden that had a dream of mine for many years.
Next would be the greenhouse and kitchen garden….
I love it when a plan comes together!
It starts
Let’s get this garden party started!
Time to roll up the sleeves, grab the i pod, and put seed to soil.
The heat is on!
The Other Greenhouse
We found this cute little greenhouse, at the end of season sale, from a local home improvement store.
It is such a cute little greenhouse!
It does a wonderful job, also nurturing my plants.
In fact, I use it to harden off plants from the larger greenhouse.
The rest of the season it is used for holding empty pots and gardening supplies.
This year I would like to give it a more permanent home in the garden and began planting around it.
And the list goes on…..
Ahhhh
The snow is melting.
The puddles are huge.
The downspouts located.
The front door open.
The smile wide.
I don’t know?
I was recently asked “How big is your garden”?
It sits on the North side of our home, meandering East to West.
It really is just about the right size!
A place to start and nurture my plants, a kitchen garden, Rabbit Run Cottage, and a few places to sit and relax.
Even when we lived in little apartments early in our married life, I gardened in little pots…that was the perfect size too!
Yes, you heard it here–size doesn’t matter!
A bright spot
Good Morning Weekend!
Let’s make it a good one.
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.
Hollyhock
Hollyhocks have been a flower I have known since childhood.
I love this tall old fashioned flower standing in my garden.
Nothing sweeter
Dwarf grey sugar peas.
Grow them for their beauty and sweet peas.
