New Vegetables This Year

Edible Chrysanthemum I’ve been thinking of growing Edible Chrysanthemum for years but have never gotten around to it until this year.  Either it was too early or too late in the growing season to sow the seeds, or I ran out of space.  This spring was too cold to grow a lot of leafy vegetables so I decided to sow chrysanthemum since it loves cool weather. … Continue reading New Vegetables This Year

Benefits Of A Cold Frame

Early Bounty We set up a cold frame for the first time last autumn but it didn’t do much for us this winter because we installed it so late in the season.   However, it provided us with a place to start our vegetables early.  The seeds were sown in March when some days were still hovering around 20ºF here.  We were able to pick our first salad of … Continue reading Benefits Of A Cold Frame

I walked #unionsquaregreenmarket today and realized that spring will be here soon enough. Plenty of Hellebores showed up at the market. Couldn’t help taking some shots 😁#hellebore #hellebores #winterflowers #shadelovingplants #coldhardyplants #perennials #perennial #easytogrowplants #flowersforpollinators

It’s been snowing since late this morning, our first snow that actually accumulated. More of our avian friends congregate at the feeders and birdbath during snow fall than any other time.

There’re only brown and gray in the garden but the Christmas cactus provides color in the house. They make winter more bearable. #cactus #cacti #christmascactus #houseplants #tropicalplants #easytogrowplants
