i feel so fortunate to live on the west coast of canada. i really love it here...  and right now, spring is in the air!
i usually try my hand at balcony gardening, and in the past year it's been decided that my balcony is more suited to herb growing... so as i'm planning what herbs i'll grow this year, and what little flowers would be nice out there... so far i'm thinking basil, rosemary, and cilantro.... maybe mint again? as for flowers? i have no idea...



i'm also planning what spring and summer knits i'll be tackling! ...even if it still is a little bit chilly, i'm so fine with that...



we've all got our fave woolen gardening clothes, right? tell me, have you started dreaming of planting, and working with fresh, dark soil? of sitting outside even in the chilly mornings, with your cup of hot tea, and yarn at your side?

i love the spring time... so many new and exciting things! i'd love your company.. tell me, what herbs, plants and veggies are you planning on having around your space this spring and summer? xo

  1. You must read my mind! I've been gazing at our little raised beds these last few days and dreaming of what I'm going to put in them this year. But, cosy garden clothes? I don't have any knitted items.... now there's a thought!

    2. Hmmm... definitely potatoes, bunch of different lettuces, lots of beetroot, chard, spring onions I think... and whatever takes my fancy at the garden centre ;) Oh, pumpkin.

  2. Woolen gardening clothes sound funny to me because it's so warm here through the spring and summer. My gardening get up is shorts, a tank, rubber boots, and a cowboy hat. But it would be nice to live where it is possible. I've tried different heirloom herbs and flowers, but find that I can always count on rosemary, basil, oregano, and cilantro. The rest are just experimental.

    1. we have the same tastes!!! well the flowers start blooming in feb here. and i believe "seeding saturdays" have already started for most home gardeners.. yet it's still a bit chilly especially in the mornings... so i think gardening wool cardis are just awesome. and wool socks for under the wellies. no? xoxo
