Dreaming of warmer days
…………….when it is minus 30 with a wind chill factor of minus 42?
When the delivery truck has just dumped $900.00 of fuel into your furnace?Â
When you have to boost the car in the morning to get the engine to turn over?
When the weatherman is predicting 25 cm of snow for tomorrow evening?
You get out the seed catalogue of course!
My husband and our 91 year old neighbour have been pouring through the Vesey’s seed catalogue since it arrived last week.  After checking the price of iris bulbs and hollyhocks ($5.00), Winnie decided she had a vitual gold mine in her backyard . They have a running gag about her selling flowers and vegetables door to door. After all, who would say no to a little old lady?
Last spring my husband introduced Winnie to organic gardening, composting, growing your own vegetables and collecting rain water. If a 91 year old can be taught new ways, so can others, it is never too late.

Mam we have so much in common. I too compost and I have an a garden of flowers. No edibles because the rabbits eat it .
Good for you to continue this lovely art form.

We have racoon in our back yard, but they don’t bother the garden at all. Our retirement property is over run by deer, so they will be a problem.
