No summer would be complete without some Zinnia’s in the garden or on my table.
Though my house is under construction, I’m still bringing in flowers for the table.
I’m in love with the morning light in my new dining room.

Propagating Pretty
Propagating the Scented Geranium that I used in the wedding flowers.
I ran out of Rooting Hormone and grabbed the next best thing, cinnamon!
You can use cinnamon and wow does it smell delicious in the greenhouse today!
Pausing
In one week we will gather lots of family and friends for a wedding.
Every minute of each day is filled with preparations.
Some of the very flowers growing here around the garden will be used at the event.
I can’t wait to share it with all of my garden friends here on Down To Earth Digs.

The Heat Is On
Just what the garden has been waiting for!
The flowers were just waiting for the warm up to show their flowers.
It’s going to be a colorful week here in the little garden.
Nasturtium is one of my favorite flowers.
The entire plant is edible! Add them to your fresh salad for a little peppery zip.
Now I just need some tasty heirloom tomatoes….come on garden!
The Break Room
Rabbit Run Cottage serves as the garden potting shed.
On the rainy weekend day’s I cleaned my little shed and my garden office is ready for this season.
The perfect view.
Rabbit Run Cottage
What color is your potting shed?
I have been asked to share the color used on Rabbit Run Cottage from several gardeners
in the past few weeks.
Though the trim color has changed a few times since Rabbit Run Cottage was built,
the building color has remained the same color.
The building is sided with cedar and stained with Cabot solid finish stain–color Sycamore.
This stain has held up incredibly well, does not fade!
In 10 years the little garden shed has only been stained twice.
It’s a color I have never tired of, it blends nicely in the garden.
It’s a color that looks nice with every season of the garden.
Green
“To putter with green growing things, watching each day to see the dear new sprouts come up,
is taking a hand in creation, I think.
Just now my garden is like faith–the substance of things hoped for.”
–Lucy Maud Montgomery
Happiness
Anticipation
My carefully tended tomato plants are ready for planting.
This basket from last season holds many of my favorite heirlooms.
Ananas Noir, Emerald Evergreen, Creme Brule, Ferris Wheel, Chocolate and more!
These are the gems of my kitchen garden.
May Madness
May is a busy month in the greenhouse and garden.
More and more of the garden is emerging from the very long winter.
Plants are growing quickly and spilling out of garden pots and trays.
Each morning I move plants from the greenhouse to acclimate to the real world.
Yes, I do give them pep talks!
