Let's Talk Gardening with Robin

Follow my garden adventures in a garden I created totally from scratch 6 years ago. I have a degree in Garden Design & Horticulture as well as Interior Design so color, design, texture and movement through a space are where I start to design a new garden space.

Let's Talk Gardening with Robin
Starting more seeds today it’s Snapdragons. The yard is completely buried in snow with the latest storms and blizzard. Moistened soil, made tags, cover with vermiculite and humidity dome. Need light to germinate 
What are you starting?

The weather here in CT has been uncharacteristically cold this winter.  The garden is buried in a warm blanket of snow so there is no work outside to be done.  A quick getaway to some warm weather helps with clearing my mind to start planning for 2026 and getting seeds going.  Are you able to get outside?
