Spring Seed Swap?

I had big plans of sharing a late Winter garden update with you all this post, full of beautiful pictures of Wintry produce such as peas(as pictured above), garlic, onions, kale, lettuce, beets, winter herbs, brassica, spinach, and oh so much more.... But, unfortunately, while away with my farmer on a recent week long trip to the city for specialist appointments my entire vegetable garden was wiped out by local wildlife, namely kangaroos! The only plant that is left (from some hundred odd) is a wee rosemary bush - note to self; grow rosemary hedge around garden, asap!

So, after a week of grieving (and tidying up) I've decided to look to the future and start with the planning of my Spring/Summer plantings. Every year I wish that I had started my tomatoes earlier, so this year I am, tomorrow, in a makeshift hothouse like this one.

Do you have a favourite tomato variety that you like to grow? Mine is the Mortgage Lifter, hands down! I have been saving these seeds for as long as I can remember, and it has me wondering - would you be interested in a little Spring Seed Swap? If you are, simply leave a comment letting me know what Spring seeds you have available to swap and we'll make it happen.

Dreaming of Spring.....

I'm still knitting away like a crazy woman but with the days slowly starting to warm up and the nights gradually becoming shorter I'm finding myself drawn to projects with Spring in mind.......

These little flowers (pattern coming soon) are made out of some scrap 8ply wool and a 3.5mm hook. They're going to look just perfect sewn onto a little light weight top for one of my girls...
Or even attached to a headband would look super cute too....
Are you dreaming of Sunny Spring days where you are???
Hugs......... Jodie xx-xx
