drafting changes to the garden.

actually MAKING things with the seed pods I collected, flowers I dried, and herbs I harvested.

but I'm lucky- my other obsession is fiber-crafts, so I garden all through the warm months, then sew or weave through the winter.

Go to the winter sowing forum. It solved all of my gardening desires all winter. We grow flowers in the winter. I love watching my containers everyday, looking for sprouts - and it's so easy - Carrie
