I was thinking about planting more veggies and mints in them this year, and not as many flowers. I want to see if I have any bottoms of planting baskets to protect plants from the rabbits like you did.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-74310184032614098522011-02-16T15:54:13.582-08:002011-02-16T15:54:13.582-08:00Such a beautifu post my friend - I am so jealous o...Such a beautifu post my friend - I am so jealous of you being able to dig in the dirt - how I long for that!

I am so inspired by you and your way of growing veggies in planters. How lovely you are able to garden now. Here there is so much snow and the temps will go down to about 4 degrees tonight! It is a tonic for me to visit you! I love your purple gloves . . . in fact all the colors in your photo holding the tin bucket. What a treasure your letter is. You touch so many with your earthy magic. I know it is not really magic. Your great efforts are clearly revealed in your home and garden. Beautiful!!

How I treasure drinking my first cup of coffee, stealing a few moments for myself to read your blog. And the timing of this post couldn't be better! As I sit here, my muscles ache and I'm wondering how I'll make it through the day! Yesterday I spent the entire day bent over covering my garden with a thick layer of mulch, transplanting seedlings, and weeding. Spring is definitely in the air (and my muscles know it!).rebecca sweethttp://www.gossipinthegarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-66936085815401486142011-02-06T08:12:15.659-08:002011-02-06T08:12:15.659-08:00Oh I so needed to see all that garden loveliness. ...Oh I so needed to see all that garden loveliness. It will be a while before we will see anything like it around here. And I had to chuckle at your shock of finding that apple blossom in January, it just tickled by funny bone and made me imagine what if that happened here too! It makes me happy just knowing how much fun you are having in your garden! And you can bet I'm trying to soak up all your garden tips you tell us about too.

In my area we have to wait until March to see bulbs poke their head out of the ground, and May to plant vegetables and flowers. It seems like quite a long wait right now, but I love to plan and dream.
