This is so lovely! I can only imagine how heavenly it feels and smells in there, especially coming from the dark and snow. It is amazing how a tomato plant can seem like such a miracle -- thinking about that makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tour that was. I had no idea that Cynthia, was growing so many plants, herbs, flowers, fruits. I think everything but root veggies. Wow, am I impressed! I'm not growing that many things and I have heat and sunlight.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking all those photos. I wonder if C. took some.
I really enjoy your blog. Keep up the good work and especially the great writing. Hugs to anyone you can find to hug, including yourself.
