New winter sowing method.

I'm so excited to get our garden going, we've had a gorgeous day today. Trying out for the first time this winter sowing method using milk jugs and soda pop bottles and I'm loving the germination rate. Got some seeds from China and they're taking off, but I have no idea what they are, lol. They came with no pictures, just Chinese writing, it's going to be a surprise. My hubby got a kick out of that, I didn't.










                     Sowing the Viola seeds in the fall, I love them so much.

Coffee bar station in the making.

Working on a little coffee bar station, still need to paint the actual bar, witch is an old butcher block cart that needs a LOT of help. But, I needed a little creative boost, so I started on the wall instead. Just added that greenery and I like it.

Trying to use more red.

For the longest time I purposely stayed away from red and now I love it. Specially with white and I have so much white. Now I'll be on the hunt for some more red pieces.

I think she's an Iris.

This beauty survived a freezing night last week. I thought it would be the perfect subject to practice with my camera. Working on the depth of field, trying to capture details on micro mode while blurring the background. I think she's an Iris, first for me. I didn't plant it, it just showed up. I did cover everything on that night, maybe an over kill, but this zone 8b is all new to me.
God sure was having a good day when he created flowers.

My pink lemon tree.


 My pink lemon tree gave me a little harvest and I'm so happy. Had to bring her in from the cold for couple of nights. Actually my Jamo got me two, the other one I have planted outside on my cutting garden area and she's also doing well. Sometime I boil the leaves for a beautiful citrus scent that take just takes over the entire house, it's a beautiful clean scent. 
 She's got new blooms coming, I had to remove the lemons so she can make me more.
The blooms smell divine
!!

                 
                       I think I'm going to use them to make Lemon cookies.
