    Today felt like an early chilly spring day. It was neither supper sunny, nor overly cold.
    Felt just good enough for me to have a quick tour of the garden.
    The last time I visited my garden was somewhere in November.
    How wonderful it was to feel the fresh air brushing against my skin.

    “It’s said if you’re surrounded by nature the peace of mind will automatically increase” ( – Chaitali Kapadia). At this moment I felt that kind of peace and it’s priceless. It makes me look forward to spring. To enjoy the freedom and pleasures of being outdoors.
    Below are some additional pictures from my morning venture. 🙂

    Onions and Garlic mulch and over winter under straw.

    Self Rooted rose plant. Due to the warmer than usual temperature. New shoots are developing. Last year my rose plants were blossoming during the winter.

    Mulching with leaves has become a garden tradition. I’ll speak more about this in a separate post.

    Red Beet. Supper easy to grow and I usually have way more than I need. These are being overwintered in my greenhouse. Hope they survive..

    Haha. The Famous “Brussel Sprout“. I laugh when I see this picture. Each year I grow tons of these, a great winter veggie. But I really don’t like them and still learning to incorporate them in my kitchen. Getting there !!

    Red Cabbage. yum yum!! Speaks for itself ;). I’ll share how I cook these sometime..
