To all new Daisy Chain members

Welcome! And thanks for becoming a link in our 2008 floral adventure.

I've gotten behind in the blogging, a good sign that my work is outside, with long physical hours and everything is growing after all. It's still in the low 30'sF at night. We're guessing when the veggies and flowers will nourish us, but all is growing steadily hardy, er hardly, I'd say.

I've been receiving registration forms daily, a gentle boost via post. So I post here to open this community trust. Here's some photos: Feel free to write in.

Weeding Perennials

I was weeding over at Common Ground today. The Veronica is free, the Alstromeria is looking good, the Asiatic Lilies are poking up, as are the Peonies, and lot's of new growth all around. Julie was pruning the 20 year old lavender bushes, so we got to talk about life, family, books, plans, insights, skills, etc... while we worked. Precious time with this amazing mentor and friend.
A beautiful day!

Amy Stewart's book is out in paperback. If anyone wants to borrow mine, just ask.

She also has a wonderful blog.

We picked a bunch of nettles today.

Will make creamy nettle soup and dry some for tea.

Get the sap running, hopefully.

Full on at the Food Bank Garden.

Big work Party all day Sat.

OK. I'm a bit of a cable newbie, so I've really been enjoying You tube.
Excuse me if you have modem dial up.
But this one is farm related.
Felt like sharing.
