… on me.
These lilacs just never get old for me. Never evah.
It seems silly to be counting the days until spring, when we haven’t really had Canadian winter in my neck of Canadaland.
But I am.
Not that I don’t love four-season living. It’s just…
It’s just…
I’m pining.
Pining for seeds and soil and garden boots.
Okay, mine are out all year round for Golden poop patrol. Just keepin’ it real.
And windows open and fresh tomatoes on the vine and tender peas climbing the chicken wire trellis and…
Flirty skirts and open-toed shoes — begone thick socks of winter! — and ponytails.
And that first taste of gelato.
Get the picture?
Something’s got a hold on me, Ms. Etta.
Must be love.
Then again, it might be Monday.
Sometimes, I like to keep it short and sweet.
And Monday is in the house.
Dream a little, y’all.

I went for a walk this morning Elen and when I got back the sun was shining. Wanna know what I did? I cracked open my greenhouse. YUP. That’s a good sign that spring is on the way. I don’t know about you but I don’t put any stock in that dumb ol ground hog. My Bday is the 1st day of spring and ground hog or not, I always get older. Ba,ha,ha.

Did the walk think, too. And in my kicks instead of boots. Wasn’t it glorious? What’s in your greenhouse? Okay. Now, you’re just making me laugh out loud. Thank you.

To be honest Elen, the walk wasn’t what I was hoping for. As you know I’ve been working through some personal stuff that is linked to PTSD. I actually came out of my skin, I was hyper stimulated, that’s why I went in the greenhouse. Ha,ha. To calm down and remind myself I’m not a total wack-job.
Right now, the greenhouse has a brugsmania, some creeping salvia, a couple of sedums. Empty pots, a watering can. I also have the bottom half of a hosier cabinet that is my potting station. I also have a bright blue (almost neon) chair and side table. It is a 8 x 10 ft piece of heaven. I start seeds early, grow a greenhouse cucumber that doesn’t need to be pollinated called Inznik hybrid. And I’m addicted to scented geraniums (although they aren’t geraniums at all). I always have a pot of lemon verbena in there too.

That’s rough. I love your greenhouse already. Don’t you just love lemon verbena? I grow it in the yard. I always brush it when I go by so I get that lovely lemony scent on my fingers.

Yeah, me too. It’s pure bliss. I’m going to try to make a few things for the blog this summer using the lemon verbena, one is ice-cream. I’ll give it a go and if it doesn’t turn in to a post then who cares. ha,ha.

Same Q as Eric, what do you plant Elen?

First, I’ve been reading Eric for a while now. I think you’ll enjoy your time there. He always makes me laugh. What I plant varies from year to year. I’ve focused on raised beds and container gardening, because not a lot of space here + the G-Pup factor. I have some raspberry canes. I grow carrots, spinach, lettuce, Swiss chard, Kale, herbs, tomatoes, sometimes peas, green peppers, cucumbers, beets… I try to use heirloom seeds. Strawberries won’t happen this year. Pigmunk won the battle! I grew baby zucchini last year. I switch it up as I experiment. Oh, perennials and annuals.

Just curious Eric, what do you plant? Do you grow out of necessity or pleasure? or a combo of both?
I have been meaning to check out your site and just did! Eric has an Epic ‘About’ page. I’ve signed up to get your posts and am looking forward to it. Cheers, Kellie

Thanks for visiting. Glad you liked it enough to sign up! We usually plant broccoli, onions, peppers, summer savory and thyme. We just plant for pleasure and to save a few bucks at the grocery store. I’d like to try potatoes this year 🙂

I get the picture—and there is indeed quite something lovely about the spring, a feeling of hope and excitement. But I do like all four seasons, too, and I have to admit I am still not done with winter. Which of course is good for me, since it’s still not over. 🙂

And winter is not done with us either. 😀 But I do love these sunshiny days that hint at spring. And autumn is my fave season of all.
