I guess I got started gardening the way many people do: by enjoying the fruits of my mothers garden. Sweet strawberries still warm from the sun, tart blueberries, stinky chives, fragrant lilacs…some of the best memories of my childhood took place there. Now I have my own garden and I’m loving every minute of it! Organic is a must, as I have two young children. To get through the winters, I fill my windowsills with plants.
I have a special interest in medicinal herbs, and anything fragrant. I also love to swap, so drop me a line!

Zone 5 These plants certainly won’t be loved to death… and they like it that way! Wintersowing helps to break the dormancy of hard to germina...
