Window Boxes

I am very fortunate to have 2 window boxes on my house. Last spring/summer I did this

What to do this year? I love dark purple in a garden. I'm thinking about this combination

Or, should I keep it all white?

There are so many inspiring images on-line, this may take a while. Good thing, look what I found in my garden today

Can you see her? There is a glare from the window. I think she is sitting where the squash is going to go.

Curb Appeal for the Garden Shed

My garden shed could use a little extra something. I want it to have more curb appeal.

Sorry the photo is so dark, still fighting with technology (technology is winning by a landslide!). I love the idea of a potting shed. A place to go an putter around for an afternoon. Something like this;

from Cape Cod Sheds.

Or this beauty from Sunset Magazine;

I think I am going to add a hitching post, even though I don't own a horse.

That might be just the extra charm that I have been looking for.

Gardening in my mind

This is my first post ever!.......total silence.
The snow is finally melting and I am planning a renovation of my current vegetable/cutting garden. The raised beds are about 10 years old, and could use a face-lift. I have also decided to focus more on vegetables and less on flowers, so plenty of transplanting in the near future.

This is my inspiration for my Potager Garden - A French version of the "Kitchen Garden".
