Citron Melon Seeds, among others. Lots of herb & heirloom flower seeds, too! I grow, harvest and package everything by hand. It’s a labour of love.

My seed packets, as well as all handmade organic bath products are available at The Art Hive, here in Haliburton, Ontario.

Early Wonder Beet Seeds. Very easy to grow. Tasty, too!

Christmas Lima Beans. Yummy! Pretty colour, too.

Well, I imagine I’m not the only one gearing up for the season….Now if only that damn snow would melt! Happy Gardening, everyone : )

Houseplants enjoy a sunny day, just like us!

Everyone is enjoying the sunlight!
I moved some plants to the south sunny window to catch some rays. The begonia leaf looked so pretty, backlit like this, kind of like stained glass, that I couldn’t resist snapping a picture. A couple of months ago, I thought this wee plant was dead, but here it is, once again full of life. Glad I didn’t pitch it out! ; )
Was so nice to have the sun streaming through the windows. I enjoyed it as much as the plants!
Have a good week!

Isn’t Nature amazing. No matter how old I get, I still marvel at the fact that without any prodding or manipulation from me, things that are meant to grow, just do. The only thing I’ve offered the potatoes and dahlias are a cool dry place to spend the winter, and here they are, showing, what my ego might describe as, a bit of gratitude, by providing this coming year’s potential for growth with those pretty sprouts.
The fact is, Nature just does it, with or without our help. A good example of that would be the fact that I never use fertillizer. Not in my garden, or with houseplants. With the exception of worm castings, coffee grounds, egg shells, and other forms of organic compost, the plants still thrive.
Such an exciting time of year. We’re getting closer to the growing season here in Haliburton. The Dahlias and Potatoes have told me it’s so!
Have a good weekend!
