Winter Growth in January


Even the moss is growing in its own special way.

Fall-planted mache and volunteer garlic from last year's crop

The red crimson clover cover crop is doing its job.

New garlic bed! There will be tulips growing up in the middle of the bed soon.

Leeks!



Good Morning, Winter



This is a delightful new fuchsia growing in my windowsill from a single cutting given to me from a neighbor's plant in September. I love watching plants grow and change.
