I found an old one, circa 2002, the other day and I was looking through it at my cubicle. My coworkers thought I was nuts...mostly b/c the backdrop was the window looking out onto piles of snow and -20 weather. Us crazy gardeners. :)Place Under The Pinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06716448507060486535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-37097665619291517512015-02-17T18:00:08.706-05:002015-02-17T18:00:08.706-05:00Yes, that is true too.

She wants to get back into gardening so she will interview me throughout the spring and summer on different things, and the show the progress in her gardens as she gives it all a go.

I would much rather be out there up to my elbows in mud. This year we are thinking of a whole bed of basil (3' x 6'). We went through our pesto way to fast.

Your shelves are so lovely and a comfort to look at. We haven't done much preserving of our own foods just yet, but look forward to learning more and more as the years pass...and looking to you for inspiration. :) Not much longer and those seeds will be scattered amongst the soil, bringing another abundant summer of food along with them. Such an exciting thing to dream on.

I should probably do the same (to pace myself better with the things we are low on). Every year is so different, too, because some things do very well while others don't.
