Five Favorites Garden Dreams edition

I’m joining Hallie, whose Five Favorites are always fun.  And since it’s February and I live in an area of the country that doesn’t get blanketed by snow all winter, I’m starting to garden.  And since I’m already thinking about all these things, I thought I’d share them.  Of course, it being gardening, there are many more things that are favorites, but here’s a start. 

1.

Territorial Seed

Oroma Tomato

These seeds are tested and grow in our area, the maritime Northwest.  That might not seem especially important, but seeds that grow other areas of the country don’t necessarily do well here – our climate is too different.

 

2.

Raintree Nursery

Mid Season Ripeners

The dreams I dream when looking at this catalog!  So many different berries!  So many different fruits!  It’s somewhat dangerous.

 

3.

Cedar Grove Booster Blend

I love getting this stuff in bulk and filling my planter boxes, top dressing my beds, and basically spreading rich compost goodness around.  Michael doesn’t love getting it in bulk, because that means a pile that we have to deal with.

 

4.

David Austin Roses

Oh, please.  Please don’t make me choose.  But I have my eye on two climbing roses, one for my new pea trellis and one for our pergola.  That might satisfy me for this year.  Maybe.

We do a lot of the gardening together and I love it.  Michael is fine with it.  But he does it with me because he loves me.  And I couldn’t do it without him, so he’s really my gardening favorite.
