Now that Christmas is over....on to gardening.

As much as I love Christmas, once everything is taken down and put away, I get bitten by the gardening bug. The planning begins, the seed catalogues get studied and dog eared and orders put together. I love this part of gardening as much as the actual getting dirty, digging and weed pulling part.

Galeux D'eysines Pumpkin (or Peanut Pumpkin)

Sungold Tomato

These two types of seed are available from Westcoast Seeds. 

The Sungold Tomatoes are the most delicious cherry Tomatoes I have ever tasted.

I cannot wait!!

Christmas Dinner gives me so much joy. I love feeding my family.

I enjoy setting a lovely table with my beautiful old Wedgwood dishes and Gallia Crystal. It is like a comfortable old friend. 

The Christmas Tree is so beautiful...I can’t stop staring at it.

What is flowering in the greenhouse today...

Christmas Cactus

Oncidium Orchid

And the Christmas decorating begins...

It took ages to find this old fashioned candy my grandmother always had for us. 

My tree top angel all beautiful and ready for the tree tomorrow.
