Thank you for brighten my day. Weather is extremely cold. Needed that ray of sunshine with flowers.

I must go on a search for that book. Spring~spiration is here! We’ve had some wonderful weather and everything is starting to pop! Trees are budded out, daffodils, crocuses, primroses and hyacinth are in full bloom. Even tulips will be early this year. This has been a crazy winter for weather. You are buried in snow and we set a record for the # of days in the sixties for February. The soil is till to cold to start planting but I sure am getting ready! The best to you and your new flower adventure, love, love the logo!!!

We are so covered up in ice still in Tn and your beautiful pics are remindful that Spring is on the way soon. I can not wait.

I am an artist and love the paintings.

Hi Deb – I loved this post, it spoke to all of my soul. Your friend did a lovely job on your logo. I’m anxious to read all about your experience at the farm market with the flowers. Earlier today I was playing on the computer designing a logo for my flower farm stand that is in my dreams for someday soon. I went crazy buying dahlia bulbs for spring planting, if only all this snow would melt so I could go dig in the dirt. Thanks again. Best, Kim

I had a lovely response but I lost my page, but just wanted to say your garden is lovely, love stealing ideas fr Mis….Luke the cosmos you have with your sunflowers. I usually plant Cosmos flowers in my bed where my clematis is growing near the mail box as they dont seem to attract bees.

Love your hollyhocks, they cut so elegant, and are so high. I haven’t seen any of mine grow that high. I haven’t seen
hollyhocks grow that tall since I was a kid. We had a neighbor
who lived down the block and she would plant hollyhocks along
her back fence near the/alley with her roses. I like how your
hollyhocks look near the building. I’m curious, how do you get
them to grow so tall or are they wild ones? Lovely!
Love the painting and he book sounds delightfully interesting. Wish to find it the next time I go to the library. Love reading about gardens. You would love to visit The Jefferson garden down south at Monticello.,,.it was a lovely plantation garden, which they keep going. Got to see tobacco growing in it. They have huge leaves. Wish I could find seeds fir that, but its probably illegal to grow your own. Not that I would smoke it, but I hear the smell keeps critters out of your garden.
I read a few books over the year of gardens in the story. It takes real talent to write bout plants b a garden, you need go know about plants. I learned about a few herbs from one writer, and it case e to look fir the seeds, I forgot thenanes if all those knots but I trued growing them because if those stories. One being comfrey, and it got me interested in other plants like hibiscus, columbines from Maine, and lupines from Nova Scotia, Canada. I would love to find eidelwiess seeds. Always a joy reading about other peoples garden adventures! Thanks for sharing. Susana

and Columbine, a few of my favorites.

I look at seed books and pictures all winter. Magazines give me ideas of what i can put in my plots. I look all all winter to get ideas fir my next garden. I make changes all the time.

Hi Deb,

I read this post several days ago on my phone and then didn’t get back o here to comment. It got me so excited about our flower gardens! You know, I’ve never read that book so it is on my “to read” list now. We did get our seed order placed, finally! And can you believe it – nothing was out of stock.

Is any of your snow melting yet? Or do you have more?

Hugs – Dori, the Ranch Farmgirl –

Love, love, LOVE your new business card design!! The colors are perfect!
