When I peeked outside the window yesterday, I swear I heard the earth whispering, a low beckoning call for the seeds of spring to be planted. Or I may have just seen a blanket of snow covering the last trace of straw bedding around the daffodil bulbs, but either way, I know in my heart, the world and I are both ready for spring blooms!
This longing inspired me to pull out some photos of gorgeous garden blooms and produce from the last season… and they filled my soul with such gardening joy, I wanted to share them with you. Each of these photos are from my garden to yours, inscribed with favorite gardening quotes. Feel free to share them or download to your screen saver to brighten your day throughout the winter months as we plan our garden plots!
