When the sun is out, I can go to the greenhouse and play.

A different angle
This side of the garden doesn’t get photographed much.
Even this image is from three seasons ago.
The south side of the fence is planted in perennials for a cottage garden effect.
The future plans are to continue expanding the plantings to embrace more of the yard.
Our home will began a renovation project this Spring. In the future we will be opening up walls and creating two openings to the back of the house.
We all ready decided we need to add a gate to this side of the fence!
Mass appeal
Along the front fence of the kitchen garden Rudbeckia blooms in a mass planting.
The North side of my garden fence has been annuals for a few years now, but I’ve decided to extend the beautiful Brown Eyed Susan’s this Spring.
In my Zone 4 garden this is a happy, well placed perennial. It gives a lot of impact with very little care needed. Rudbeckia tolerates our Summer heat, and very easily is divided or started from scattering dried seeds directly into the ground.
Images from the Summer help me in making decisions about upcoming work needed to be done in the garden.
All gardeners know that a garden is constantly changing.
What plans do you have for your gardens this growing season?
Winter on the garden
Blanket of white snow covering the greenhouse and garden.
Basil Bliss
This was last years crop of Purple Basil growing beautifully in the warm greenhouse.
Basil will be just one of the many Herbs available for sale this Spring in my 4th Annual Sale.
No need…
to wipe your feet.
I have several pairs of garden boots.
Basic black, bright colors, high boots, short boots.
Come Summer time, I’m usually happy with my well worn Converse.
In the greenhouse
Ahhh, it’s so fun to pull out the baby pictures.
Trays of Heirloom tomato plants all tucked into the warm greenhouse.
This is the best spot to be in the Winter!
The Pickery
I plant cutting flowers on both sides of the greenhouse each year. Zinnias are always a favorite.
Come on in from the cold
With the deep freeze of Winter howling outside, I prefer to rest my eyes on pretty garden images.
A new year
Another year has rolled through in the garden.
How quickly the seasons slid from one to the next.
2013 was a year of extremes.
Snow and cold that did not want to end.
A Summer that came on hot and hotter.
Fall dropped in with cold, miserable weather.
And Winter, well it’s colder!
Happy New Year garden friends!
