More rain coming and cooler temps make this the ideal time to pull up and move your biggest hosta- although be prepared, it will weigh a lot with that saturated mud attached to its roots. I'm feeling very satisfied and exhausted, but I pushed right through a big to do list. Spring is awesome. Now for hot shower! </p>

We have already been enjoying several spring bulbs, the perennials are waking up eager to be divided, and the early clematis are setting flower buds. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Yesterday I divided a few hostas, a golden millet, and moved around a few plants including a bleeding heart that was struggling with overbearing tree roots. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I am just over half way done with the big spring weeding and edging- several of our beds don't have edging, so I have to go out and do it by hand every spring. I've got most of the cool season crops growing already including kale, lettuce, peace, broccoli, cabbage, and onions. When the rain stops I plan on getting the brussel sprouts and some more lettuce planted. Already been harvesting kale, so more is needed to keep up. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The nice people at all local city compost, used their tractor to dump a load of mulch in our trailer. The kids helped me distribute it this week. Things are looking sharper than they were a few weeks ago.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We had to put the heater back in the green house for a few days, as lows were 36 degrees a few nights in a row. A lot of seedlings in there are germinating. I've got zinnia, nicotiana, hibiscus, celosia, brachyscome, felicia, lobelia, and ornamental kale going in the fun department, and tomatoes, peppers, malabar spinach (pictured) cucumbers, zucchini, and plenty of herbs including parsley (pictured), cilantro, marjoram, lemon balm, and basil in the edible department. <br></p>

The rain has been absolutely perfect, falling in just the right intervals that I've hardly had to water at all. We've also enjoyed having multiple rain barrels for the first year, so all of the container plants have been kept happy with the sole use of rainwater. What a blessing! Here are a few of the blooms of captured around the garden in the last two weeks. Enjoy! <br>
And Happy Gardening!</p>

The beautiful apartment upstairs from the shop (The Porch and Atelier) and possibly parts of the shop were going to be part of another magazine shoot that day. The talented people who own and work at the shop set up the bones of shop (all the vintage furniture and finds) and I get to come play- tucking plants all around. Its a good gig. Enjoy!</p>

The Motherload of Inspiration. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A friend of mine strongly suggested I check out a harvest home in Wayzata MN for some much needed shop inspiration. I didn't hesitate and found the next excuse to head east. I gotta wonder if the fine folks that work at the shop ever get tired of hearing their patrons gushing as they walk throughout the store. This place is so unbelievably gorgeous and inspiring inside. Every detail will have you drooling. Go ahead and enjoy my pictures, as I'm already plotting a reason to walk through the shop again soon. Bravo, Harvest Home!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Olivey- chartreuse is already one of my favorite colors, but pairing it with this gorgeous reason this blue door not to mention charcoal grey is absolutely perfect.<br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

A lucky side effect is that means I get to visit a lot of local nurseries. One in particular provides me with so much inspiration. Green Valley greenhouse in the north western suburbs of the Twin Cities is always a place for unique displays and creative outlet. On this particular visit the designer was actually in the middle of working up some of the spring displays. I made sure to compliment her extensively as I ooh'd and awed. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The designer was actually in the middle of tying the pots to this giant wreath when I furst arrived.

Atelier is open weekends here in Buffalo, MN selling all sorts of wonderful vintage and vintage - inspired finds, and Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint.  The Porch is in the lower level and is open one weekend a month (first Thursday-Sunday). Both levels of the shop are so inspiring, I still can't believe I'm selling there. I feel like someone needs to pinch me!</p>
<p dir="ltr">I'm having the most fantastic time getting my hands in the dirt to put some green in the shop and customers/clients homes. My plants are nestled in other vendors finds as well as my own in the pictures here from my first weekend: </p>

I love the ability to actually see how various varieties faired, the space they took up, the bloom time, what they clashed with, etc. I hope to sell some cute flowers at our local farmers market this summer, so my emphasis has been on some of the best cut varieties from last year. </span><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkEYvw2AmCRglp5DfUZ-mEPY7tuRrbOuR22t03oyeue0p_tE2r9jKNNKmyDtXZZHCfUpzOL5J5yCZiTFhvmaYFoF_x9JHQMPrre9lI3pmn8b7WXNwixFOOW5mV0PVjfE_Pi7pc_oRI4Og/s1600/IMG_20140918_100405.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkEYvw2AmCRglp5DfUZ-mEPY7tuRrbOuR22t03oyeue0p_tE2r9jKNNKmyDtXZZHCfUpzOL5J5yCZiTFhvmaYFoF_x9JHQMPrre9lI3pmn8b7WXNwixFOOW5mV0PVjfE_Pi7pc_oRI4Og/s640/IMG_20140918_100405.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Looking at this image above I am reminded how much I enjoyed the cactus zinnias. They did come into their own too late for my tastes, so into plan to remedy that by starting the seeds a bit earlier. I also grew annula asters for the first time last year, and the big fluffy pink ones in this bouquet were my favorites. I've placed orders for similar styles already. 2014 was the first time I ever grew Mexican sunflower, also pictured here, and it will be invited to the cutting garden for years to come. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCvfLs2wKcnoV0Edj4JfRBcbi5dipVEfS-ttHFp-8mIu6fPlJ3YML-zVN21XNXtGfpFcDjau8_TEkHnReEqQXdiiE7a7yS2uHqoDYeWg4tKwCmoNckFc8U1Cx0ekTP1FdMAmleH_s3s-s/s1600/IMG_20140918_100540.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCvfLs2wKcnoV0Edj4JfRBcbi5dipVEfS-ttHFp-8mIu6fPlJ3YML-zVN21XNXtGfpFcDjau8_TEkHnReEqQXdiiE7a7yS2uHqoDYeWg4tKwCmoNckFc8U1Cx0ekTP1FdMAmleH_s3s-s/s640/IMG_20140918_100540.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This bouquet reminds me to plant as many snapdragons as I can squeeze in.

I did find some seeds online and ordered. The bloom time on these was so very long... months. I didn't have to deadhead, and the impact from all the way across the garden was immense. They dwarfed me, going way above 6 feet tall. The delightful mix of colors was surreal.

I get through winter with my blank journal, notes and dreaming. We've got almost all the seeds ordered, and this weekend I'll be starting rosemary, lavender, coleus, pansies, violas, petunias indoors. I ventured to one of my favorite nurseries this week to simply soak up the warmth and scent of their greenhouse. I bought some seeds and succulents and replaced the frosty fern I carelessly let dry out last month. I'm excited to try some new seed websites and varieties. </p>

When I was in college I had a tiny Norfolk pine from the grocery store on my kitchen table. We brought it with us when we moved to California and then brought it back with us to Wisconsin when we moved there two years later. W cared for there and now its in Minnesota with us... large enough to be decorated with lights and ornaments.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Last year I went around and bought more christmasy trees- lemon cypress, norfolk pine and blue cypress when they went on clearance. They stayed indoors until spring time when I brought them out in my container garden. Come fall, I brought them all back in. I had to repot several of them, as they grew quite a bit. They make up a good chunk of my holiday decor. You'll see them sprinkled throughout. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Otherwise, you can see my garage sale finds, hand me downs from my childhood & various ornanents and trinkets my mom has given me over the years. Only a fractionof it is out.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season! Merry Christmas!</p>

The solar lights are on glowung a dim yellow above me. My new spot is just some chairs we used to have on the lawn but hardly ever sat in- it was too hot in all day sun... now they are tucked under a corner or Virginia creeper, where they get plenty of afternoon and evening shade. I pulled out an old barn bench for a table and some containers from around the yard and now we can hang out while the kids ride bikes, climb the front tree, and play basketball.  It's pretty great. </p>
<p dir="ltr">So this week I was walking around the yard and I found a nice repeating theme of blue and gold in the garden.   Took time to go through the pictures and found I use it more than I realized; I would like to make an effort to deliberately use it more. Here are a few of my favorites.  </p>
<p dir="ltr">I'll surely be growing even more of the blue lobelia next year. I finally cracked the code on growing them from seed and keeping then going all year. This variety is  botanical interests "Cambridge blue." I love it with the Japanese forest grass!</p>
<p dir="ltr">I'm also enjoying the forget me nots... I've got both varieties going in this bed. They bloom at different times. I love them with the langsdorff nicotiana (also botanical interests), and golden hosta. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Enjoy the pictures and let me know if y I u need specific questions answered about what's what. My blogger app is less friendly about me typing between the pictures. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Happy gardening! </p>

My family and I go up to St Cloud a couple times a year. We live about 40 minutes from the heart of St Cloud and find various reasons to go there, including shopping and dining. Recently my husband has decided that he is going back to school and will be attending Saint Cloud State University. We drove up one rare free late spring afternoon to get a feel for the university. My neighbors had told me about a wonderful free garden in St Cloud, but all of our visits there never suited a trip to the garden. Either it was raining or we had the dogs, so I never even bothered to look up where the garden was. So there we were driving around trying to figure out the university. We missed a turn and run across a bridge, marveling at the very full Mississippi river... Went to flip around and there was the garden. The rain had just stopped, so obviously I begged my husband to get out of the car with me and walk around and see everything we could see.</div>

Just a quick post of some pictures from a recent visit to the Minnesota Arboretum. I had never been in spring, and enjoyed viewing the early tulips, and daffodils so much. I tried to keep this post entirely full of the lovely tulips, and saved the daffodils for the next one. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7H6FiIE_lyGNEBga_lyMHK953kn2sO0EnId1glVSWHHzzXxXbQkmIT-01baEO7qoJ14v1RbQBc5z-tvz2yL_8BrzddgEyYzbrKcCWl0Sww63e9pHsyr5rxZYCn-fZH-xFavrrGNIwXdU/s1600/DSC00634.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7H6FiIE_lyGNEBga_lyMHK953kn2sO0EnId1glVSWHHzzXxXbQkmIT-01baEO7qoJ14v1RbQBc5z-tvz2yL_8BrzddgEyYzbrKcCWl0Sww63e9pHsyr5rxZYCn-fZH-xFavrrGNIwXdU/s1600/DSC00634.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>

We've finally warmed right up to more average temperatures, and I've been outside most of everyday planting the greenhouse and basement grown seedlings. We even planted two plots at the community garden and have plans to plant more in an unused space in a friend's yard. So many tomato plants!! And peppers. Trying a few new things, including our first sweet corn (husband is totally in charge), quinoa, and kidney beans. Also lots of kale, and our first attempt at cabbage specially to make saurkraut. Getting excited! Meanwhile the tulips are just finishing, as well as the crabapples... and almost all of the dahlias are planted. Enjoy a few instagram shots from the last two weeks!</div>

The first peony to bloom is always the unique <span style="font-family: inherit;">Paeonia tenuifolia- or atleast I think that's what it is. We inherited this plant when we took over this garden. I find this peony's frn like foliage to be much larger than the fern leaved peony I'm used to, with the blood red flowers and super fine foliage. This one is more pinkish red, and the ferny foliage is much thicker. It was planted in mostly shade when we moved in, and I've since moved one of them into a more sunny spot.

Spring is certainly rocking here, so don't bother knocking... I'm in the garden and I won't hear ya. I've already been sunburned and dehydrated... I'm one of those gardeners that looses all sense of reality when I'm out there. Time is not a thing, unless I'm running out of daylight. I forget to use the potty, or go in for a glass of water. My husband actually gave me a camelback... but I won't wear it because it restricts my movement. Pretty ridiculous. </div>

I've been so busy that these pictures are actually a couple weeks old now, but nevertheless share worthy. Here's the newest addition to the Rex Farm- we're now the proud care givers of 6 koi fish. A neighbor has had them for a while, but decided not keep them anymore. So far they love our pond. The fish are a bit skeptical of us when feeding- we have to stand back before they will come to the surface. They also much prefer to get the food as it falls down from the filter fountain to the bottom of the pond. </div>

The greenhouse proved to be so worth its cost this year, as I started seeds vigorously, everything from lavender to zinnia, pumpkins, from sweet marjoram to castor bean. For the first time ever, I've grown every tomato, pepper, herb, pumpkin, squash, eggplant, etc from seed on my own. </div>

Why the lights? Besides it making the whole greenhouse look like a spaceship you can see from everywhere in town, it also helped get us through some seriously cold nights. I saw that adding Christmas lights (that actually get HOT to the touch) could up the temps by almost 10 degrees over night... it totally worked, as outside temps dipped down into the upper 20's and low 30's, and all of the stuff in the greenhouse sailed right through. I was careful to close up the window and the door (if they were open at all during the day) before 2pm or so, so the solar heat could build up over the afternoon... then the lights helped keep it up. I didn't do an exact scientific experiment, but I'm fairly certain it never dipped below 42 in there. </div>

And I got super frugal and made this new shade cover for our gazebo! </div>

Our back porch is full HOT sun all day- and is relatively useless to us if its not covered. Years ago my mom bought us this nice gazebo with a screen cover- even had doors to keep the skeeters out- but last year it began to tear, and the mice chewed through the screen when it was stored in the garage. This spring has been financially taxing (to say the least); my husband is a retired veteran who was medically discharged from the Army this February, but has yet to see his VA benefits kick in. To say we're tight on money is an understatement! Can we say $6 in the bank? Yeah... so when I need to make shade for us I had to SUPER creative. I had bought some burlap for another project years ago, and never used it. Cheap garden burlap- like $6 a roll. I deciced if I had some cross bars (enter twigs from the forest behind our house) I could rig this thing with burlap. I literally used a household stapler and ta da! Its already managed several thunderstorms and even a wee bit of hail. My husband says it looks like Pirates of the Caribbean, which is FINE with me. I LOVE that ride (and movie). And you know what? Perfect shade! The plants I'm bringing out from their indoor slumber love it, and so do I. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also, my husband built this table-- isn't it awesome? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We've also started finding frogs and toads in the yard. This silver tree frog was hanging out under the burlap, too. </div>

I brought a bunch of them out and stuffed them in his old metal "thing" my husband found at a yard sale for $2 last year. Its now the perfect window box on my shed (also made by my husband out of almost entirely salvaged materials last spring). </div>

In fact, some doves laid eggs in our shed- in this huge willow heart I put up in the corner--- I was actually putting it there deliberately so birds would build in it, although I was hoping it would be inside the heart, not on top. Sadly, the birds only stayed a few days; every time I entered the shed, even if I did so slowly, tapping to announce my presence, the mama dove would fly up into the plastic-ey ceiling and bang her head, and spaz out for a bit before finding her way out. I was worried we would both hurt ourselves. I'm hoping she's found a better place to nest, as I still see her mister feeding at our feeders... </div>

As promised, I ventured out to the greenhouse with my phone today to grab a few pictures of the seedlings. On my way through the snow... yes snowy wintery mix fell all day yesterday here in grand ol' Minnesota, I found this columbine covered in water droplets. I love the colors of new columbine foliage.! As it varies from species to species, quite a few of the varieties I grow have a purple tone like this one here, and also the newest leaves look like a sweet potato color... pretty perfect. </div>

I also admired my own handy work. I made these leaf bird baths from hand last year, and the water looks so gorgeous in them, especially on the table my husband made. Yay! He was about to scrap this huge chunk of metal when I nabbed it for my gazing ball. My son scored the raccoon for free at a yard sale last year. </div>

Okay, so here we are in the greenhouse! It was 38 outside, and 50 inside the greenhouse. I don't have a heater in there, so with temps regularly dipping in the mid thirties I've experimented with bringing several strands of lights that keep warm- so far it has worked to keep temps about 10 degrees higher. Seedlings here are stock "katz mix", Mexican feather grass, and blue bachelors buttons. </div>

Just a few days ago I planted all of the profusion zinnia seeds. I ordered them offline, and love giving them a little head start. I won't be transplanting them for two more weeks, weather permitting. </div>

I have transplanted some things that germinated in the basement into the greenhouse, including: basil, true lavender, rosemary, peppers, black eyed susan vine, stock, Mexican feather grass, eggplant and tomatoes. For my own record keeping purposes, and perhaps your curiousity, I'll include a list of seeds that germinated in the unheated greenhouse so far (note: I'm seeing new germinations every day, despite the cool temps overnight and the highs in the greenhouse reaching less than 50 for a few days): Mexican feather grass, lettuce, cabbage, kale, radicchio, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cat grass, borage, calendula, Spanish lavender, tomatoes, peppers, squash, pumpkin, cucumber, several varieties of basil, marjoram, true hyssop, hollyhock, zinnia, bachelors buttons, snapdragon, cleome, aster, lobelia, painted daisy, foxglove, and more... </div>

One more outside picture- taken from the back window. I have never seen this kind of bird at my feeders, so I had to get a shot of it for ID purposes.

This week you will find me staring out the window, watching the rain collecting in every vessel, gazing at the wind blowing through the leafless trees, amused by the robins dashing from flooded puddle to the mud for worms. Its been stormy here folks, and cold- today we didn't get above 40, and tomorrow's high is also in the low 40's. We have had over 2" of rain since Saturday evening, and we're not done--there's more snow forecasted, and more rain, for the next 2 days. We're officially in cabin fever overload. I normally would savor this rain, grab some knitting, and kick back, do some house chores I normally can't get to. Normally. But its been since last September since I've really played in my garden, and I've done most of the house chores I can dream up... and I'm so ready to get OUTSIDE. Totally don't even need it to be warm, just dry. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank goodness for the greenhouse. I'll take some pictures of progress out there tomorrow, and in the basement under the shop lights- we have seedlings- that's for sure. And all the dahlia tubers are divided and ready. Ready, ready, ready...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So what else is there to do but go through last years pictures? What a blessing to have more time to plan things, to leave less room for sporadic planting, to make more deliberate combinations. My sketch book has been open on/off every evening. My pen has been going like crazy. The pin boards are bulking up with ideas. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So this collection of pictures below were all taken the same day. Do you ever have those days when the camera seems to find all the things you're looking for- and it all just feels right? You come in, and feel so glad you decided to bring the camera out, that you planted those plants where you did, that the sun was just right? This was one of those days for me. I just enjoyed every drop of the experience on this day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So happy the bee balm has reached its massive proportions finally- rather than the scraggely little divisions I brought with me when we moved here. The bees seem to hum, yum... and the yellow hollyhock bloomed the first year. Bonus. </div>

I tucked my three succulent urns under the eaves of the shed- where no additional rain could get them. Folk say succulents are so easy, but the truth is, when you live in a wet climate there can be times when it rains and rains, and your succulents need a break- which can mean moving them around a lot. I keep my cacti in the greenhouse, and the majority of the succulents planted in tricky spots where they get sun, but no rain. Under these eaves works, and under our old gazebo, on the sunny side. Other options comes include up against a house. </div>

Last summer I tore out hundreds of ditch lily tubers on a path between our garage and the neighbors.

The path is awkward because one side is all day intense sun, and the other gets shade from the neighbor's garage and a large tree in the back yard.

I found the Japanese Maple labeled as a Red Maple Tree, MISLABELED at a local walmart. JM aren't hardy here- they are supposed to be reliably hardy to zone 5, and we are zone 4a, so I've taken my special JM and placed it in a micro zone (between the two garages, in a bed of large rocks that warm the soil when the sun hits). On the off chance you find them available here you pay A TON- like $50-75 for the common "bloodgood" varitety. I was beyond excited (like, I may have shouted from the rooftops) when I found this guy for a song. </div>

I'm not crazy about the worn siding of our rental house, but it sure goes great with this dahlia!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjskffA9cGJCgD-AWn8eDEdCHzuIOzlxVTLmsVX62EYA246CKpQXq8k5GayFpQPj13vdc48_XfapbZkTReUzHSmaIgKAazEAHGsrXup7KRHf273pNOTdIN7-ARLYhlKOcZYD1iRsnRbJm0/s1600/100_2361.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjskffA9cGJCgD-AWn8eDEdCHzuIOzlxVTLmsVX62EYA246CKpQXq8k5GayFpQPj13vdc48_XfapbZkTReUzHSmaIgKAazEAHGsrXup7KRHf273pNOTdIN7-ARLYhlKOcZYD1iRsnRbJm0/s1600/100_2361.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>

My neighbor gave me this dahlia- and I loved it. It worked its head off all season- non stop huge blooms, and all from one tuber. I am hoping to have more of it this year through dividing. </div>

One last beauty from this warm day last summer- some birch wood laying by the fire pit, ready for an evening bonfire. I'm pretty sure we ended this day with a fire. perfect ending to a great day in the garden.</div>

I don't know about you, but getting lost in all these pictures for awhile made me forget it snowed today. For a little while anyway. </div>
