I've been drawing, painting, and creating things since I was small. With the kids all grown and families of their own, the hubster and I garden our back acre and keep busy with Farmer's Markets in the summer. When the garden is put to bed, the winter months are my creative times when I sew penny rugs, do punchneedle, and paint.
We have one furry kid at home - Olive Oyl - our rescued Wheaten terrier mix.
I've been going through my perennial garden photos from last year to see what I need to move due to crowding, or which plants I don't like together. Thought I'd share a some more photos.
We have broccoli, and onions sprouting, and I started some Aster's a few days ago, and some of them are coming up. My hubby winter sowed the broccoli, his first time trying it, and he's very excited when he saw the sprouts. None of my winter sowed perennials are showing signs of life yet. We have all the herbs sowed, and next we'll start tomatoes. First Farmers Market is May 2nd this year. I hope we're ready.
Welcome to my garden blog! On this bitter cold, snowy Feb. day, I'm dreaming of my garden. Seeds have been started, plans drawn up, so it won't be long now. We're gearing up for a bigger summer market season. Although our market does carry on the third Sat. during the winter months, we only participated once, selling pickled peppers. We have plans to use our new greenhouse as a growing tunnel next year to extend our season. It was too late in the fall to put it up then, so that will be a new project this spring. We're anxious to get started.
Since there is nothing to show right now except for little seedlings under the grow lights, I'm posting some photos from our 2008 garden...and dreaming of spring. Come back and visit again soon. Terry
