It is so fun and exciting to watch things grow from a tiny seed! I love checking my plants in the morning and when I get home from work to see how much they’ve grown while I was away. Here is a picture of my temporary set up, while I prepare to move them to my greenhouse. 

We have had a lot of rainy, dreary days here in Pa, so while it’s been warmer, it’s not been nice enough to be outside for long. I have a lot of leaves to clean up, because my house is on a corner, and they all get stuck at my forsythia bushes. Speaking of the forsythias, they need trimmed a lot since that didn’t happen in the fall. I have all of the tools I need so I’m ready to get to work when the weather cooperates.

winter isn’t my favorite season, but I’m learning to embrace the slower pace and the time to work on indoor projects and crafting, and also planning for the improvements in my yard. Just like paint can transform a room without a lot of expense, the same can be achieved outdoors with shrubs, plants and trees.

It’s raining again to day
