Signs of Spring

Its coming I promise! Even though the gloomy skies outside don't seem to side with my promises, Spring is on the way. These little spirally bulbs prove it :)

What signs of spring are popping up around your neighborhood?

What Do You See?

What do you see in the picture above? To the ordinary, untrained eye, it might look like three small pots of dirt and a vine in a jar but in reality to my highly trained eye, it looks like tomatoes, cilantro, basil and a vine in a jar!

That's right, I'm planting again, now that we are settled in a house (for better or worse) I can finally unpack (if I had the time) and plant some seeds. I am waiting on the vine to grow some roots so I can put it in my massive tea cup planter, and the tomato, basil and cilantro seeds just need to sprout into little delicious plants and I can move them outside :D

Are you planting anything this year?

*sidenote - all of the planters came from the thrift store :D

Teapot Plant

I just saw this on the front page of Etsy and think it is so cute! I love the choice of plants and the fact that it is overflowing with life! I know most of my life is sustained by tea, so its very appropriate ;) And the photography is, of course, gorgeous as well :) Check out the rest of VerdeGarden for more super chic planters.

Small Tree

Can anyone tell me what this is?
If your answer was small avocado tree you were right! A while back Matt had gone to California and brought home fresh from the tree avocados, many of them started sprouting before we even got to eat the avocados but this little guy we saved and put in some water and he has clearly taken off. Wow that was a long run-on sentence. But anyways, this little tree is now about 1o inches tall and a friend thinks his roots look like some kind of space squid hehe, I think that means its time to put him in the dirt and see what happens, what do you think?

In other news, my beloved camera has bitten the dust and I am now simply waiting for another one to show up in the mail sometime soon. Hopefully this week?
