This was probably the last snow of the season that the garden will see. Amazingly, many of the herbs have survived the winter (they don’t look great, of course, but they are still alive). I’ve got parsley and cilantro still growing, as well as sage and rosemary. The strawberries are sprouting new green leaves underneath the dead debris. All in all, it has been a mild winter. Of course, this is good for some of the perennials that we tend to lose (mostly lavender plants), but it probably means a buggy summer.
I sure have missed blogging! One of the tasks I still need to do is to recap the crop from last summer, and identify the plants I really loved (and those I wasn’t so thrilled with). Hopefully that will be posted soon. My long hiatus has left me a bit rusty when it comes to blogging. Spring is almost here (you can even hear the peepers at night if you listen closely).

Maggie,
You’re back! I’m so excited. I have really missed your blog. Every time I would clean up my reader feeds I’d say, “Oh, I hope she decides to blog again.”
Welcome back.

Hello Maggie,
I am hunting a photo for a Pepper Alma Paparika, and found a nice one on your website. Would you consider selling it for plant label use only? It is hard to find good shots of heirloom peppers. Please let me know.
MasterTag policy is that your image will only be used for label use. Should any other need be identified in the future, you will be contacted for permission. Your image will not be resold or loaned to other companies or individuals, and will only be used for that named cultivar.
Kind regards,

Kim,
Thanks so much for your comments. You are very sweet! I’m expecting twins next month, so the garden will be relatively modest this year. However, I can’t imagine not having a garden even though I know life will be a bit overwhelming for a while. And eventually I will have two little helpers!
Thanks again. It is good to be back!
