Gardening

Living in Zone 4 means I don't get to garden for 6 months of the year. But I really try to make the most of our short summers. I start my first seedlings (peppers and brussel sprouts) at the beginning of March.

Our beautiful Jackmanii Clematis. We were so lucky that it was already established when we bought our house.
