Garden Hopes and Dreams 2012

Keeping my fingers crossed that the mild winter does not mean a repeat of last summer's scorching heat.

peas 1


peas 2

I have big hopes for my tender pea tendrils. I loves me some fresh from the garden peas. My brother hates them. That boy just ain't right.

collards

This is an incredibly hardy collard plant that I planted last year and just left alone during the winter. Low and behold, tasty (or really bitter, I'll find out) new leaves. BACK OFF RABBITS!!

Bay Leaf Plant

This is my wonderful bay leaf plant. Needs to be repotted but I love the flavor of fresh bay leaf in my chicken stock.

Rosemary

And LOOK! My rosemary plant if blooming. So pretty. Please wish me gardening luck that everything survives and thrives. Because I'm hungry.

  5. Thanks for the luck MS. I'm not really a gardener, I just play one on my blog.

    Dani (the real gardener) we've swung back into real cool spring weather and away from early summer heat. We may get a frost tonight but that's what thrift store sheets are for - Frost Blankets.

  8. Susan, what does the Itch tell you to plant in the Princely space?

    Melissa, this is the first time I've tried peas so my thoughts are to go for it with me. I've got some trellis type material for them to climb up and during this mini cold snap we've been having, kept them covered at night. They've all survived transplanting so I'm already ahead of the game. Will they actually produce edible peas to justify their minor cost? Stay tuned.
