Fruitful During Winter

Winter growing is fun indeed. You can’t beat fresh tomatoes, peppers, turnips, and greens! With a little planning and care, even in the coldest months, you can create a fruitful mini-garden right in your backyard. Imagine stepping outside to harvest juicy tomatoes that burst with flavor, alongside crisp peppers, turnips, and broccoli that add healthy carbs to your winter meals. Not to mention, the greens—kale, bok choy, and Swiss chard—are not only nutritious but can also thrive in cooler temperatures, providing a continuous supply of food.

Canna color morning to evening

My peach canna seems to become a darker, richer color in the evening, as though it knows its time is precious. As the sun sets, the rich tones of the canna deepen, making me take my time finishing my chores for the evening. I am still enjoying the pansies, and the coleus cuttings are starting to grow and brighten up the space. The anticipation of watching these plants thrive makes me happy and gives me something to look forward to each day.
