Not Much! Merry Christmas!


This lettuce and a little spinach picked from my cold frame!  Garden catalogs starting to arrive!


This is a few leaves of spinach from the Grow Light Kit I am using.  I learned from the book, "Indoor Kitchen Gardening" by Elizabeth Millard that microgreens are the first stage of a plant growth.  So maybe these would be called microgreens!!!


This is probably the most unusual Christmas decoration!  I use to have a sled I could tie this swag on but in one of my decluttering moods I must have gotten rid of it.  Do you ever get rid of things and then wish you had them!  So my creative juices came up with this garden fork!   Merry Christmas and may you have a wonderful week celebrating the reason for the season!

Merry Christmas. And I do get rid of things I wish I'd kept. Not often, but occasionally.

Hi Daphne, I guess one consolation of getting rid of things we wished later we would have kept is that if we kept everything we would be hoarders! Nancy

Yummy lettuce & spinach - did you get to harvest a bit for Christmas dinner? I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas!

Hi, Nancy! We have received two seed catalogs. I love garden planning! I am thinking I need a cold frame before next winter. I have been caring for my neighbor's animals and took a peek at hers yesterday. It is wired with a light bulb and full of lettuces. I may have been a bit jealous. :) I think the garden fork is a great decoration!!

Hi Vicki, I think I am jealous of your neighbors cold frame too as I don't have a light bulb in mine! Nancy

Love the bows on the garden fork!! Very unique and festive! Those homemade loaves of bread look delicious and the ladder is beautiful. Wishing you the best for 2015!

Cozy Thyme Cottage said...

Hi Nancy! The greens look so yummy! Maybe you'll get enough for a salad soon! I hope ya'll had a wonderful holiday season! The fork looks great! Yes, I have gotten rid of things before and ended up purchasing them again! Lol! So much for decluttering! Have a great week! Blessings from Bama!

Cozy Thyme Cottage said...

Hi Felecia, Thanks. Just not enough greens to supply me though! Wishing you a wonderful year as well but not too much decluttering! LOL Nancy

I have often gotten rid of things only to regret it later! Now I ask myself whether I'll ever have to buy a new one. New is so expensive in price and cheap in quality that I often keep things because I know I'll use it someday. Have to add that even your little bit from the cold frame looks wonderful.

Cozy Thyme Cottage said...

Hi Leigh, Your right about things being more expensive to replace. I should think more carefully about getting rid of things! Hard for me to decide depending what mood I am in!!! Nancy

Progress in the Courtyard!

  It was so nice to look out my bedroom window this morning and see the Clematis blooming instead of a pile of snow.  It is a rainy day agai...
