My garden

Do you remember my plants?

They have grown a lot over the last weeks. I think some might even have grown to much because they already have flowers and I do not think they should have before they are planted outside.


I moved them to our sun room on Sunday, but this morning Darling sent me a picture of our garden covered in snow so now I am very worried that these plants will not make it. I am so proud that they have become so big   because previous years we have been to late and our plants have been nowhere near this size, so I would hate for them to die now.

Below is our garden this morning. Not the sight you want to see at this time of year (or ever, actually).


I got this handy little serving trolley from my grandmothers belongings and it fit perfectly in the sun room. I will not leave the plants there for too long because I am afraid that the moist might damage the paint, but I think it is ok for a while.


We have also been sowing and planting outside. Here is our plot of vegetables. I made those little signs because we always forget what we planted, and I will show you how tomorrow.



The radishes are the only one that has came up. And as usual, they are way to close to each other so I will have to remove some of them. I never seem to learn to space the seed out evenly.


I have also planted some herbs. The little "box" is supposed to make the soil warmer and give bigger plants, but I am not sure if it works. I think it is nice though.


Rosemary, chives and rhubarb, and I have sown basil, parsley and oregano. Can't wait until it has all grown bigger (unless it just died from the snow... sigh)

While I was writing this post, I saw that Centsational Girl had posted a recipe of Raspberry Rhubarb crumple that had my mouth water. I really, really long for those summer days when I can go outside and pick rhubarb, raspberries and maybe even strawberries and make a fresh crumble. 


Have you sown or planted anything this year?

  1. thats fantastic!!! I love to see the buds start to bloom. it means SUMMER!
    I did not plant one thing this year mostly cause my father in law (Mr. Green thumb) plants a ton and I mean a ton of stuff. It makes more sense to have him just grow it and give it to us lol
