It’s that busy time of year.

Getting the garden prepped and planted.

I started with my herbs that hang along the deck. I was able to over winter both a thyme and a flat leaf parsley this year. Additionally I started seeds early this Spring and picked up a couple small plants at the greenhouse yesterday.

We love having fresh herbs in our food.

I have 12 tomato plants this year of 4 varieties that I started from seed back in mid-March.

Six live here… along with some green onions and basil I’m hoping will sprout.

The other six are in the “big garden”. They are sharing space with green beans, snow peas, kohlrabi and jalapenos.

I got the fence up immediately this year so  the wildlife wouldn’t get any snacks from me.

This morning I saw that one of my book purses was this Etsy treasury.

Just had to share…makes me happy when something I’ve created is appeciated.

Lots of fun stuff was featured….

Are you gardening this year?

Thanks for stopping by for Tea Tuesday with Kimmie and the gang.

My garden harvest is winding down…so

I’ve started the process of saving seeds for next years garden. This way I’m creating my own heirloom seeds. This is what I’ve collected thus far.

I’m waiting for a 3 other tomato plants to ripen so that we may sample the goods and see if they are worth saving.

I got those plants from my psuedo-sister-in-law so I don’t even know what they are called.

Do you save seeds? Vegetables? Flowers?

I save them all….it’s fun to see what comes of it and besides that-

IT”S FREE!!
