Early Gardening

With all the unusually warm weather, my garden is going really early.

Last year I planted spinach and peas in mid April. This year I planted peas the first week of March. I also planted a bunch of greens (raab, spinach, chard) and by mid March I planted carrots (red, purple, short and sweet long ones) along with broccoli, brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, and more spinach.

Now, my pea plants are about 8 inches tall, the spinach is almost ready to start picking, and the broccoli raab is bunching.

Happy April!

Happy First Day of April!

To celebrate, I have two new listings in my shops.

In my AntB Shop, I have this listing:

This is a solar and wind powered clothes drying machine. It is very easy to assemble, and can be used in or outdoors. Not only is it useful, but it also is a fashion statement for your home!

And, In my SecondChanceCeramics shop, I have this listing:

Happy Imbolc!

This year the weather has been mild. Today I can smell spring when I step outside. I know it won't last, and winter will show us who is boss for another month or two, but I am enjoying today.

For my giveaway, I am offering a little goddess with some blue glass melted in her middle. This would be great for your altar or ritual space, and it is tactile and smooth.

If you would like to win it, just leave a comment along with how I can contact you (your etsy name, twitter, facebook, or something!).

In your comment let me know if you have plans for spring, or if you are still recovering from the holidays. :)

Comments will be open until Midnight, Feb 6, (Monday night). Then I will choose one comment at random to win. Its that easy!
