Stonecrop is the common name for the large plant family of Sedum

Perfect!
I have been adding new plants each year, and now have lot’s of Mother plants to take cuttings from.
I fill flats with a sand and soil-less potting mix.

Provided many cut flowers this past garden season.
Zinnia’s add such a punch of color.
5 years ago we “dropped” our little garden shed
into a weed patch of our new property.
I had little time to ponder the placement of the beloved shed–I was just grateful it had made the journey.

A little difficult to grow in zone 4, but worth the effort.
Some of my vintage garden sprinklers.

With snow all around me, I would rather look at pretty garden peas.
Working on the planting plan.
Caffeine for the eyes.
Fresh broccoli from the garden this past Summer.
