“Spring has sprung and so am I.”
~John Prakapas
Oh, sweet Jebus, spring has finally arrived and I can finally plant all the greenery that I’ve been lusting for all the torturous winter long!
Yesterday, after my beekeeping class at Garfield Park Conservatory where I picked up some veggie seedlings, I trudged around the muddy, freezing and drizzly grounds of Gethsemane Gardens to gather the makings of some of my new projects: a twilight (or moon) garden AND a shade garden emulating the woodland foliage of Michigan (I made a little inspiration piece that I dug up in Mom's backyard (see the saucer planting)! These plants actually start to shine in the evening. Now I won't have to worry about missing out on my garden just because the sun sets! My inspiration came from a lovely book by Lia Leendertz called Twilight Garden. Nerd Alert: this winter I categorized my prospective plants on an Excel spreadsheet and plotted out the winners on graph paper in the shape of my back porch. Nerd.
Michigan in a saucer!!!
The whole gang (below)!
Now, if only the temperature would become warmer so that my threshed-up fingers could plant...sigh. Right now it's 43 degrees. Soon, my babies, soon!
