Happy Saturday night. I hope all is well in your part of the world! Been a busy last couple of weeks - nothing hugely earth shattering, just the usual things - work, family, clay - repeat! I've been itching to get out into the milk house to get things cleaned up and moving along to …

Seed Purchasing….
One of my Columbines in one of the patio planters made it! So exciting to see new life! Yes, an actual post about gardening finally.... When people find out I've grown over 5,000 seedlings over the last three years, they ask me.... "Where do you get your seeds....and why do you get them there?" With …
Action Packed….Shipments…Cancelations….. Replacements & Waiting…
Happy Saturday my friends! We have a busy day planned - action packed with grandkids, and my second cousin. We will have a 5, 4 and a 3 year-old-year this afternoon.

Perennial Garden….Duhh Moments….& Working Smarter
Greetings, I hope all is well with you. I'm not sure that I've gone into detail about my perennial garden. We have a bit of space near the milk house, there's a concrete apron that comes off of it and just beyond that there's a bit of ground, not much, but enough to stick a …

Next Year’s Line Up
For someone who says she's cutting back, there certainly is a lot of seeds here. But keep in mind, I will not be planting all 100/50/25 seeds in the packet to go in my garden. They will be started by seed, and most of them sold. I really like that Johnny Select seeds allows me …
Dear Mother Nature-Enough Already…
Okay, Mother Nature, we are done with the cold, rain, snow and wind. It's time for the Sweet Peas to find their way to their new bed, it's time for the tulips to come up and find the sunshine...! The snow you sent on April Fools day was funny -- NOT! and the snow you …
