I thought this was a crafter's blog...

Or a painter's blog... or a quilter's blog...?

(And then I look at my sewing table which is covered with gardening items)

Uhhhh... yeah, it is... sort of.... but I seem to have this new love... of gardening. And that has taken over my life lately. I go out into the garden, I go to garden shops, I watch gardening videos on YouTube, I go to bed thinking of what I want to do out in the garden the next day... I think I am smitten.

I am sure I will find time for art and sewing soon enough, but for now, I am basking in the deliciousness of fresh strawberries and veg for a morning egg scramble, or greens for my salad, zucchini and yellow squash for my dinners, herbs for my cooking or tea...





The tomatoes are green yet and peppers are barely a whisper, but they are coming.



As are beans and kale...

But my flowers seem to be lacking attention and I do want to attract bees and butterflies into the garden so aside from some very young attractor plants I have going in a wine barrel, I realized I needed something that is already flowering... so off to the garden center this morning to find more flowers.



Here are my favorite gardening YouTube channels these days:

  1. Jesus! You're weeks ahead of me and you're only an hour away. Weird. Your stuff looks great. My apricots are coloring up but no veggies other than a few small green tomatoes. Got flowers on the zukes but no actual zukes. Ditto the peppers. Ah, well, gonna be a slow year, I guess.

    1. Well things are still pretty slow here -- just not warm enough yet (which pleases me but not the veg). I am sure your great garden will far surpass mine soon enough!

  2. Oh nooooo - you put those links in! You're trying to suck me into the youtube void, aren't you? But I'm going to resist today at least - going to get some quilting done and maybe a little gardening, although really it's weeding and tying up roses....
