MID_JULY BEE BALM/ garden harvest

Heres is a shot of my glorious bee balm! I love its fragrant leaves. Also I found a pleasant suprise this morning in my garden, new potatoes ready to eat YUMMM. I think I will grill them add, rosemary and thyme. My rasberry patch has also been productive and I have my first bag ready for freezing. I use them in winter, cook to a reduction to use as a glaze over cheesecake!

JUNE/ early JUly

It has been too long since I made a garden post, I will keep it up better now. MY garden has grown a lot since March!! Today I am going to post a new picture,,wait for it!!!MY bee balm is amazing

new to our yard!

Aaron saw this at Lowes this weekend and loved it, so we bought it, planted it in the front yard. Now I want more in the backyard, very pretty, cant wait to see it bloom. This weekend temperatures are epected to be 75!!

GARDEN TIME IS HERE!

My sprouts are coming up in their containers. The snow is almost all gone, planted spinach, lettuce, more tomatoe seeds today! Also the furry yard beast has awoken out of house hibernation and is on patrol again...watch out squirrels Elliot is back in town!

Sprouts!!

I have sprouts, but I have no pictures yet because my camera wouldnt work. My tomatoe and Thyme sprouted in my green house made from a comforter bag!

Homemade greenhouse

Made a greenhouse today for my seedlings, I used a comforter bag. I bought miracle grow seed starter, planted thyme, rosemary, tomatoes and pumpkins. My plan is to leave them outside in daytime sunlight, and bring into warm house at night.

Spring has sprung!

Even though my camera did not do a good jobs shooting this, it is still a welcome sight. Under the wet leaves, near the big pile of snow, was this tiny day lily!! That is a sure sign spring is here, also the maple sap is running, the roads are muddy and we have corn snow,,so yes it is definetly spring in Vermont!

ITS HERE......

Lost power this morning, about a foot has fallen already with two more days to go, wow. The garden got buried overnight, guess I wont be raking today!

Awaiting the snowstorm

Winter storm warnings are posted from 7pm tonight until 1am thursday morning. There goes hope for an early spring!
Nelly is patiently waiting to play in the snow!

Christmas path

On the upper tier of my garden is our christmas tree path we planted last year. They are getting bigger. I didnt realize conifers can survive in sandy soil.

Compost Bin

The compost bin I started last summer didnt really take off like I had hoped, I wonder what the trick is?

undercover buds

I took this shot of our lilac bush, this year's buds are tightly snug, bud they are there,,waiting for a few more months! I will check back next month and see if they get a little greener.
