What’s going on in the garden this week? Well, I’m glad you asked 😀

The cute little bachelor buttons and scabiosa I planted last fall are hanging in there during the freeze. I covered them with frost cloth for the snow event we had on Jan 10, but I got lazy during this week’s temps in the low 20s (F). They look like they are doing just fine without the frost cloth. They should be ready to bounce in a month or two 💐

The Meyer lemon trees in the greenhouse are budding out. These take FOREVER to get ripe, but so worth the wait 🍋

Most of the tomatoes are seeded in the pink trays from Bootstrap Farmer. 10 different varieties of heirlooms (yum!) and a couple of hybrids. These will be ready for sale about March 1, give or take.

Handy hubster David built a new 3-bin compost setup. Outgrew the last one! He used recycled pallets given by our friends at Nothing Bundt Cakes in Hurst.

Propagated a bunch of random stuff to give away after they are mature enough. Mostly I just wanted an excuse to hang out in the greenhouse on these chilly days 🥶

And my Aunt Kale from NC sent me this hysterical stuffed fluffy chicken. We named her Sabrina, she hangs out on our mantle, and I love her!

What’s in your garden right now?

You know it’s going to be a great workshop when you get to meet your heroes!
