My Winter Garden











Last night we had a torrential rainstorm,I slept on pins and needles,kinda hard to settle in to a good night's rest when it sounds as if your house is about to be uplifted!! Well in anycase this afternoon as I went to tend to my dog "Blue" I took notice of even more new growth peeking up from the earth. Bulbs, popping up irises getting taller, and grass sproutin up in uneven patches aahh all signs of spring lingering around the corner! I have already planned what I shall grow from seed, what I shall purchase (wish list to say the least!!) and what I shall see carried over from another winter. This winter hasn't been too harsh, we had one really good snow about 10 inches or so, and lots of cold nights,but not a harsh winter by no means. Thank,God considering I just got a utility bill for,brace yourself $850.00-YIKES!! Donations,welcome-haha!! But as I bemoan having to pay such an outrageous bill,I'm thankful for the fact that I'm alive to see another winter,hopefully spring, and therefore another gardening season!!!

  2. I hate getting a bill like that in the mail! Makes my heart sink into my stomach just thinking about it. I do like your garden though-that's awesome. I am about to weed my mom's little organic garden bed to plant a Spring garden for her. Hopefully, it will be fruitful (it was last year).
    Anyway, I look forward to checking in on your gardening ventures. Oh, and I found you on Foodbuzz in case your'e wondering...
