I dried some peppers from my fall garden in my laundry room. They're great for adding to soup or chili. I will grind some of them as well for seasoning. Do any of you preserve your fruits, vegetables, or herbs that you grow?

This is a short video of what I did one nice day this week. I'm preparing my winter sowing jugs. I should've started early February, but I've been too busy. We have enough cold weather left anyway. 🌬️❄️ If you like, please share your own video of what you're working on currently outdoors. 🌱

A couple of weekends ago I took a camping trip to the Gulf coast, where I'm from originally. On my hike I saw this pretty blooming rosemary variety native to the area. I wish I could grow it here, but it needs the sandy soil, warmer temps, and salty sea air to survive. What plants do you wish you could grow in your area but can't?

Has anyone started planning your spring garden yet? More specifically, did you harvest enough seed last year, will you order seed soon, or a combination of both? I'm definitely the latter.

I haven't sat in front of a fireplace reading a newspaper in a really long time. My dad sent me some articles in the mail, as one's parents do, so here we are. So cozy. And yes, our Christmas decorations are still up. It's only January.
