What a dreary rainy day.
We accomplished so much in the garden yesterday!
My hubs has one more raised bed to build ...
following deconstruction of a small deck.
It will be prepared for growing herbs and greens!
I'm committed to spending lots of time
in my art studio this week.
(Procrastinating)
Maybe I'll include watercolors of these pics!
Last of the Fall/Winter harvest!
Except for the collard greens.
They are still producing!

GARDEN UPDATE:

We have little strawberries everywhere!
Onions and Garlic are just beginning to change

ReplyDeleteI wish the weather here would be favorable to gardening, but at 115 not too much grows. You plant list is enviable. Have a good day.
