I am growing my herbs inside and plan to have them in my kitchen window where they will be handy for cooking. My flowers are just for enjoyment - if the weather ever warms up - today? brr!Mellowood Galleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16204405235754555730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3242851672654516298.post-52888547454077521502017-05-16T17:32:13.326-07:002017-05-16T17:32:13.326-07:00I love that Artisan sign...it really made me smile...I love that Artisan sign...it really made me smile. Great idea about the flowers in the pots. It makes it much easier to take care of them that way. I only have a patio, so I keep everything in flower boxes or pots too. I just planted my herbs yesterday, but haven't bought my flowers yet. Until this week the weather was still rather iffy, but this week has warmed up quite a bit.

I have been too old and stiff to weed for a few years - lol and am even thinking about using landscape fabric and gravel around the perennials in my one flowerbed - anything to make things easier. Glad you like the sign; I hope it works!

The drive and the property inspired the name 'Mellowood' as we always seem to mellow out when we come home. I don't mind the deadheading and cutting back during the summer -it gets me out in the yard - lol. The Artisan sign is put up by Tourism BC - we just add the Open sign which is reversible with Closed on the other side. There are also Artisan signs on the highway to direct people up the hill to our place- sometimes it works - lol.Mellowood Galleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16204405235754555730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3242851672654516298.post-49487727211971489792017-05-15T05:30:23.418-07:002017-05-15T05:30:23.418-07:00What a fun little trip this was.

It is always fun to get things out, but then the doldrums of cutting back, cutting back, cutting back begin - at least in my garden. Like the "artisan" sign too.Nelviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18270512609434415587noreply@blogger.com
