It’s time to hit up all the local garden centers for clearance plants.
I have the perfect spot to add one more Sedum to the edge of the garden.

Pretty Patina
When you visit a garden center and pay just as much attention to the
weathered greenhouse doors as the plants and flowers; that’s me.
These are the doors that lead to the Shade Room at Terrain in Pennsylvania.
If only I could find this color at the paint store.

Getting Dirty In The Garden
Lot’s of planting and pulling weeds this week as the garden gets going.
Remembering that I have garden aprons to lessen the dirt that I bring indoors,
I rummaged through the potting shed to find this linen apron.
I designed and sewed this apron for Country Gardens Magazine a couple of years ago.
The pattern and images appeared in the Fall issue of 2014.
It was a dream come true to travel to the Better Homes And Gardens Test Garden’s and
co produce the story with my friend Kate Carter-Frederick.
I ended up having to model for the story, and though I was in the most lovely gardens,
was completely out of my element!
This image looks simple enough.
I first held a watering can.
The pot was tilted many angles.
My shirt was unbuttoned-just one more!
The pot got really heavy!
They cropped this image-perfectly!
Jack And The Pulpit
Always fun to see these woodland flowers among the pines.
Unruly
The Cosmos are winding out of their pots.
I think they are looking for Spring.
With more cool weather expected,
it’s safer in the greenhouse.
Happy Anniversary
5 years ago I started this blog to share the story of my little garden.
From seed to harvest and each lovely step in between.
Thank you to all who stop by to visit, leave lovely comments or choose to follow along.
Herb Season
Yes, fresh Herbs are back!
Prepping for a demonstration at our local library this weekend.
Using Herbs to make fresh salad dressings in 60 seconds.
Must Be Allergies
I’m itching to get into the garden.
It will be weeks before plants and seeds can be dropped into the raised beds,
but getting the beds ready with new compost and some new mulch around the kitchen garden can happen just as soon as it stops snowing!
The greenhouse needs new paint and some repairs this spring,
Rabbit Run Cottage is changing it’s colors this year,
and the empty chicken coop is going to undergo some changes.
I am opening up the little garden to a few Garden Club tours this summer,
so the pressure is on!
Complaint Department Response
Mother Nature responds with sunshine, calm and a promise of nearly 70 degrees!
Rolling up my sleeves for a day of work.
This trellis needs work from some winter damage.
The list goes on from there!
