Winter Seeds

Let's start with Tulips for Tuesday!

Let’s start with some beautiful Tulips for Tuesday. Don't these store-bought beauties make up for any lack of flowers outdoors? Word of winter advice - keep spring close by as we move onward and upward. It's time to find the best of the garden and design chores during our slumber party winter months.
 

Yes, tis the season to gather the seeds. Collect your previous plant notes and start planning for what was lacking in last year's garden; begin your plant and seed catalog search. Sort through the seed drawer and dispense of past dated packets. It’s never too soon to place orders for grape vines, fruit trees and those specialty type plants that often get snatched up over a year in advance. Most of our orders have already been placed. 

And while you are sorting through what seeds to propagate, are there any new winter hobbies while you wait for the spring to break? We’re going to give cheese making a go. The kit is bought but one fears it could be a passing fancy. Though we hear soft cheeses can be quite easy, let's see when we give this untried hobby a spin.

So best to look winter straight in the eye. It's knowing the Tulips above are soon to be popping from the ground rather than from a store’s shelves. As Ellen G. White states it best, “Talk unbelief, and you will have unbelief; but talk faith, and you will have faith. According to the seed sown will be the harvest.” Winter seeds make for the perfect spring .Until the ice breaks, enjoy the slumber party offered to us during the winter months.

Enjoy the winter slumber party until the ice breaks!
