The Country Garden Showcase- Week 9

Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace.
May Sarton

Welcome Friends!
Here's my February Garden Plan and progress so far...

sow a row per/crop each week- winter veggies ~ DONE
plant bareroot table grapes ~ DONE

start seedlings for veggies indoors- this project began 2/25

put up hoop house over the winter veggie bed, once seeded- *not until seeding is complete

Well, that's what I've been up to lately.

    1. That's great Clint. I still need to divide plants... That's a chore I don't enjoy so it's usually last. Have a great week.

  3. I haven't done anything, because I'm not there yet ;) :) I do want to try growing tomatoes this year. My aunt has these really nice flower boxes in our backyard. They sit on top of this wall at waist level, and the flowers inside are dead...but I"m wondering if I can repurpose those to grow some produce? Maybe :) I'll have to measure the boxes to see if they're big enough. Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather :)

    1. Hello Heather,
      The flower boxes sound good. I hope you get a chance to grow something in them. Have a good week.

  5. Wow! Things are really coming along! We've had some pretty mild weather here lately, so I'm thinking it's time to take advantage of that while I can, even though we can't put plants in the ground for another 2 months or so.

  6. Hi, I am a new follower linking to your party this week. Seems we are all dreaming of summer gardening. We are still quite far away from that here in Michigan, so reviewed my flower pictures from last summer. Thanks for hosting, hope you will stop by, Laura - Cottage and Broome
