Baby, It's COLD Outside~

On this frigid morning, of 1 degree Fahrenheit, this ex California gardener can only revel in seed-starting and garden planning in the month ahead! As there is no hope for growth in the frozen ground outdoors - it's a fine time to actually get this Blog going :) We are in zone 6a, in Kentucky Appalachia........a place of abundant water and what we fondly call, "The 200 Shades of Green" zone (tho all is white right now)! Tucked safely indoors until last frost date, are our tropicals - the Lemon Grass, Turmeric,Fig Trees, and the family Rubber Tree ( passed on from Grammaw Welch, and now 47 years old!). The seed boxes lay waiting - hundreds of different open-pollinated promises for the future. The list of online friends expecting seed from me in the mail is growing, and soon will be packaged and sent out all over the country - and some across the Big Pond to European garden pals.
