The weather has been so cooperative lately, just perfect for gardening.
If you read my gardening posts last year, (you my check the links below this post) you already know that gardening is one of my fun ways of spending time outdoors, and enjoying nature.
Spring is my favorite season of the year. I love watching all the plants waking up from their winter snooze, sprouting new leaves and dressing up in their gorgeous blooms.
A couple of weeks ago, on Saturday, we had a gorgeous day. It was sunny, pleasantly warm, with the temperature in the low 50ties, but what was so peculiar about it, is that it’s still the middle of winter. Mother Nature reminded us of this reality during this past weekend.
As you know, I love nature and gardening, so I could not resist to go outside and check out how my garden is doing this time of the year.
I was pleasantly surprised, and quite confused, when I noticed some of my spring plants already popping out of the ground. It definitely is way too early for them to be peeking out, but then again, it’s the call of Mother Nature.
Poinsettias are one of those plants you find in every store during Christmas season, and at the curb shortly after Christmas. It really does not have to be that way, since with proper care you can save your Poinsettia until next December, and admire fresh blooms for Christmas.
If you have been following my posts, you already know that one of my hobbies is gardening.
The growing season is over, but my organic garden is still supplying me with some of the herbs and vegetables.
I will post my red beet recipes in future posts, but this time I would like to tell you a little bit about the health benefits of this vegetable.
