My new favorite hobby these last 2 years has been gardening. As Tyler told me recently, my thumb is getting greener by the year! My mother passed on this amazing gardening book that she had used for years, which I use like a bible. I have 3 areas that I am currently working with: my veggie garden has green onions, tomatoes, carrots and green peppers. My window garden has rose bushes, mint, crokus, 2 different types of ferns, and hydrengas. Then I have 3 pots with poppies and all sorts of other flowers. This, besides scrapbooking, is one of the most cathardic things I have ever done! I love California weather that provides the opportunity to garden year round!
