Sunday


Today was beautiful in the foothills. Another storm is looming, but for now I enjoyed the fresh air and mild temperatures (you know it's winter in Maine when 30 degrees is considered mild). I love my welcome sign attached to a lovely trellis on my woodshed. It was a carryover from the previous owners and I'm thinking I'd like to use it to plant clematis, so long as I can find a variety that does well with partial shade.

If you have any suggestions for planting clematis or any other climbing flowers, I'd love to hear them.

My greenhouse is looking a lot like an igloo these days. I keep reading about people who do winter gardening, and I'm wondering how early I could start using my greenhouse this spring?
