Old Rock Farmhouse

On a recent trip to Sweden, we visited this lovely garden on the grounds of Malmo Castle.

Creating floral arrangements is a favorite hobby of mine!  This one is filled with vibrant pink zinnias and cosmos with a backdrop of California mugwort and a photobombing fly!  All of these are planted in my vegetable garden and are pollinator magnets.  

This time of year is like Christmas for gardeners, so full of hope!

  Most of my little vegetable patch is napping.  Like busy toddlers, though, there are a few still awake in December.
