We live in zone 6a and I have been gardening and cooking for years. This blog is an opportunity for me to share with you my success and those failures that come about on occasion. Plus, I want to hear from all the gardeners and bakers and cooks out there and learn from you. Feel free to share your ideas.

Spring Is Here- At Least For Today





It is in the 70s today and I believe this has been the warmest winter we have ever had in Southwest Ohio.  The daffodils are starting to bloom in the garden and I cut  a few for the house. The sun is shining and I have cleaned up the raised beds again since the weather is so terrific today. The garlic I planted in November is sprouting and I predict it will most likely be harvested earlier than mid July. Flowers seeds have been ordered and should be arriving next week. Of course I cannot sow those outside for a couple of months. As a side note, one of my carry over amaryllis bulbs is just starting to bloom for its second year. I can often get them to re-bloom, but they have I mind of their own  when that happens even though I follow the directions for getting them to re-bloom at Christmas. I will post a photo once it fully blooms.

    1. Sue they add such joy and today we had snow flurries. That is just the way the weather is around here. However, it has really been a mild winter overall. Thanks for visiting my blog.
