These are "Very Berry" wintergreen seeds..... I planted them in a peaty seed starting mix, threw them into a plastic baggie and put them into the fridge with the rose seeds already there. I also planted hosta "New American Hybrids" mix into peat pellets in a cool window sill.

Not a drop even though it had been working minutes before. I realized that I have not a drop to drink of potable water

I forgot to mention yesterday that I received a big padded envelope from Pinetree Garden Seeds yesterday in the mail. Inside were the sprouting jar lids so that I can grow some yummy nutritious sprouts in my kitchen inside during the winter since FREYA won't let me eat the lettuce I grew that was intended FOR ME during the winter. Freya will NOT be able to get the sprouts, of this I am sure. I am

26*, feels like 22*, 66% humidity, NW 5 mph wind, cloudy Outside the secrets are revealing themselves again and this time without the need for snow. The word of FREE EATS must have gotten out amidst the rabbit world and I am going to have to protect choice plants. Blueberries are being chewed back on the stems, something that if they were a heck of a lot bigger I wouldn't mind so much but they

Some of y'all may have seen these lists bumping around in the blogger world and so I too will list what makes me happy (or just 8 of them as it takes very little to make ol' girl gone gardening happy). Here they are in no particular order: 1) Starting plants from seed. Sure, sometimes there is some cursing involved like "Oh crap-noodles! MOLD!" but overall it is an engaging and fun experience.

28*, feels like 18*, 90% humidity, SW 12 mph wind, cloudy, 1.5" new snow fell over night Last night when I got home from a pretty rough night at work and a long slippery drive home, there was a package on my doorstep. Now, I was THRILLED to see this package. After all, it was the thing that kept me going last night. "Maybe there will be a package on the doorstep!," I kept telling myself. And Lo

24*, feels like 18*, 69% humidity, S 5 mph wind, cloudy, snow advisory This morning when I let the dog out to eat snow or whatever it is she likes to do so much with snow, I took a brisk stroll around the garden to see how things look. My garden this winter has slightly more winter interest this year then the year before thanks to my rhodie, the new conifer, and a few bare of leaves baby shrubs.
