It's the time of year when I start dreaming of my garden.

It may have started when I pulled some snap pea seeds from my Christmas stocking, or maybe it was when the catalogs began to arrive in my mailbox.  Perhaps it was the scent of lemon blossoms in a friend's solarium.  Or when I joined the Gardener's Corner on Ravelry.  Or maybe it's just that time of year. 

Whatever it is, I can't help daydreaming about my lovely garden, and how weed-free and full of delicious veggies it will be.  Last year, I was a bit absorbed with trips to knitting conventions, and knitting in general, and just didn't seem to get as much out of my garden.  Although it seemed like BFJ picked up a bit of my slack and took a bigger interest.  The morning after Christmas, I laid in bed and read back through my blog for the year 2012, and was disappointed on how few garden posts and pictures there were.  I'm determined to do in 2013.  I'm definitely thinking of a lemon tree. 

Do you garden?  What are you planning this year?  What are your edible (and not) must-haves?

    Oooh, I'd love a lemon tree. If you get one, I hope you'll blog about it with tips and hints -- it seems like they wouldn't do well in colder climates -- even indoors. Happy Garden Planning! (LOVE the new header!)

    You know how much I love my garden, Karen! It's wonderful to plan and scheme right now in anticipation for warmer weather, isn't it! This spring we are going to plant a white rose next to our dear Sophie. We're also going to try some new green beans and melons in additional to our must have lettuce and carrots and surely some other goodies!
    Cheers!

    I had such a beautiful garden in California and I am getting the lay of the land here in Colorado. It's certainly different. I think I'll attend a few garden club meetings so I can learn more what I can and can't grow here.

garden panos from 2023

 Last year, I made some effort (not thoroughly successful) to capture state-of-the-garden pictures every month, including panoramas stitched together on Photoshop, in order to get the whole view of what's happening.  So here's a little recap of the garden in 2023! early March April May June August It appears that I missed July, and either didn't take or didn't save this project in September, although we didn't have a killing frost very late into the season - we were still harvesting a few things in October.  As much as I loved the lettuce that was growing in the tunnel, and getting an early start on a few things, I'm not a fan of plastic anywhere, especially in my garden, so I am looking at options - cold boxes with old windows, etc.  I'm planning to start my 2024 garden this month - pea planting, planning, and seed starting in March!  What are you planting?

Night

Trixie (as in Speed Racer) and Stitch (as in per inch) Night My kitten walks on velvet feet And makes no sound at all; And in the doorway nightly sits To watch the darkness fall. I think he loves the lady, Night, And feels akin to her Whose footsteps are as still as his, Whose touch as soft as fur. Lois Weakley McKay ... a childhood favorite from The How and Why Library. Thank goodness my parents moved last year and sent this book my way. Otherwise, I would have just the first line running through my head forever!

Thankfulness, 2023 edition

I originally wrote this at the beginning of January, but was unable to upload a picture without using a third party software.  I'm thankful that seems to have been a temporary requirement.    Let's start the new year off with a tradition of thankfulness.  From the Thanksgiving chain in 2023: hymns my grandma sang thankful for loving family Zeph handwritten letters gardens good teammates Charlie Brown cartoons walks Brock Grandpa Caitlin falling leaves lasagna Noah wool Evie Eli Jaden Luke Mom good neighbors sky Kyla Avery God's grace Nana Italians Trung Hot Wheels wind through the leaves candy camp stool coffee carmelle apples Santa neighbors Zeph Jeremy steak & rice changing colors coffee & a book in the morning Karen's sense of humor my job time in prayer time to pray our nation grace old friends music health Christmas lights dinner with loved ones Sonya days off yarn God's love fall leaves pasta sandwiches our wonderful family crunchy leaves under foot be...
