I love the view looking inside the greenhouse.
Rows of seedlings filling the benches, and pots waiting to be filled.

It’s a warm up–inside only!
This very cold Spring is a challenge….
keeping the greenhouse warm and nurturing for my little tender seedlings.
Rosie
1 year ago, I went to pick out a new puppy for our family.
Rosie was the first I picked up from the piles of puppies at my feet. I held a few others, but I kept going back to the littlest one, that sat patiently near me.
I promised to give her a good home, and snuggled her into a blanket on the seat next to me.
She fell asleep for the drive home and I have loved this girl from that moment on.
She is quiet, playful, serious and a bit of a scaredy cat.
Rosie is ready for some warm Spring weather too!
blest be the tie that binds
An evening around the table with books, magazines, laughter and garden dreams.
A treat to visit Rita’s beautiful home, and meet my new string loving friend, Jackie.
Garden Goodness
If your a a local garden friend….
I will be speaking at our local library on Monday, May 12th at 7 PM.
I am not an expert gardener or speaker, but I can always chat about gardening!
I hope to share a bit about how we built our little greenhouse, my gardening style, and talk about the process of the Country Gardens magazine photo shoot.
Happy Spring
Enjoy the day garden friends!
The Little Garden Pond
We do have a little garden pond.
It’s quite small, but the sound of a water feature in a garden can make a big impact.
So soothing during quiet evenings around the fire pit.
We would like to make changes to it this year, as we have learned more about maintaining a pond.
One of the biggest challenges is keeping the ducks out of it!
Last year I relinquished it to the baby ducklings, but this year I plan to impose the “no ducks allowed” rule.
Seed to Soil
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!
