Temps have been variable, quite warm in the 50s for a while, now back in the 30s. There is no snow cover, although we did get a few inches last week, which melted when it got so warm.
The snowdrops continue to bloom in the front garden under the Japanese maple. Eventually the kinnikinnik will spread to cover the area where they are, and I hope they are tall enough to peek through! You have to really look for them as it is.
I am utterly unable to take a decent photo of my Galanthus nivalis, so here's a free picture from Morgue File. Such pretty things but I have to be looking for them to notice them.
Jim says he can make me a nice sturdy cedar tool closet like this one that I found on This Old House diy plans:
It would be smaller, just 3 feet wide and 5 feet tall, to fit under the kitchen window next to the potting bench.
At three feet wide, it would probably have only one door, but I could still put the garden shovels in there, and then have a narrow set of shelves for gloves, pruners, and small items that need to be out of the rain.
Big bulky items like potting soil bags and work buckets will still be in the garage, but the day to day stuff that I need at hand can be right next to the potting bench, kept dry, and that will be a big help!
Can't wait to see this project underway.
