A new garden apron

I wanted a new garden apron for working in the greenhouse.

I like these plain canvas carpenter aprons.

I needed a couple of extra pockets and a place to keep a pencil for marking plant tags.

So I found a scrap of brown linen and sewed a rectangle of fabric onto the the front of the apron.

Nothing fancy here folks, no measuring–just eyeball it!

Now, I have plenty of pockets!

All set to get dirty in the greenhouse and garden!

Those sweet seed packets were designed by my daughter Laura!

I obsess

I will admit that I obsess over my little seedlings in the greenhouse.

From the moment that tiny seed drops into the tray, I watch for that tiny little bit of green to show.

Keeping the temperatures just so in the greenhouse, while Winter still howls just outside–

well sometimes it makes for sleepless nights.

But the reward is healthy, naturally grown plants, that grow delicious garden goodness.
