Green Thumb Sunday


Join
After the snow melted last week I went outside to see if anything was still green and amazingly there were several plants. The picture above left is of Candytuft and the one on the right is Horehound. Below left is Pennyroyal, and on the right is Yarrow. Except for the Candytuft all the plants are from my flower/herb garden. I'm so glad to know I didn't kill everything when I moved it!
Happy GTS!

Garden Resolutions/Goals

These are just my gardening goals. If you want to see my other goals/resolutions, check out my other blog.

1. Start seeds on time.
2. Keep up with sorting and posting photos.
3. Don't ramble so much when posting. Sometimes I have to rewrite entire posts because they wouldn't make sense to anyone but me.
4. Avoid getting sunburned.
5. Take better care of indoor plants.
6. Research any newly acquired plants and make a 'plant file' for it.
7. Comment more frequently on other blogs.
8. Sort seeds as soon as they are gathered instead of letting them sit around for a few weeks.
9. Improve compost pile.
10. Make an herb garden.

Being sick this week has gotten me to post and sort my photos on myphotoalbum.com. I'm nearly done, I just have to sort and post photos in the Miscellaneous album.

Garden Presents

*I meant to post this a few days ago, but between New Year's celebrations, needing another picture, and coming down with a nasty stomach bug, it stayed a draft. Happy (belated) New Year!*
I was starting to get slightly jealous of all the garden bloggers who got cool gardening tools, books and ornaments for Christmas. That is, of course, entirely my own fault since I didn't put anything gardening related on my Christmas list. My Dad did get a neat garden hose sprayer nozzle that I will test at the first opportunity I get.



Then for my birthday I got this sign for my veggie patch! Isn't it cute? Since the snow had pretty much melted, I went out the next day, hung it on my gate, and snapped some pictures. I won't put it out until spring, and I'll probably take it in when we get windstorms. Until then I'll dream of fresh sun-ripened tomatoes.



Yesterday I got my first 2008 garden catalog from Park Seed Co. I haven't had a lot of time to look through it, but the first chance I get I'll read it from cover to cover!
