It was so much fun to learn how to do mosaic and work on this cool project to promote pollinators in the Hamline-Midway area of St Paul! Mosaic is fun and challenging, but this community art project will be wonderful when it’s done. There will be 10 planters with flower and pollinator themes along Snelling Avenue this summer. Work sessions will be held every other Thursday night and Saturday through the spring at Mosiac on a Stick. A fun project for artistic friends or anyone who cares about pollinators and beautifying St Paul neighborhoods. It’s free to do but you need to sign up through eventbrite. .

Call me weird, but I wish we were 10 degrees colder. A really deep freeze is bad for Japanese beetles, emerald ash borers and a few other nasties that torment northern gardeners. Winter is not over. Here’s hoping for a magic minus 20. 🥶 .

Six new inches of snow yesterday but the winter sun is out and the paperwhites are leaning into it. This is not the stinky variety so I’m looking forward to a whiff of spring. .

My camera and I are really striking out in trying to capture the winter light shining through this amaryllis in the mid afternoon. It’s a joy to see in real life, especially as we are slogging through the depths of winter. I’m still waiting on some paperwhites to bloom, too. Then it’s all greenery here until seed starting time, which for me is March. Hope your winter sun was shining today. .

It’s alive! Sour dough starter from @seedtofork

It’s alive! Sour dough starter from @seedtofork is growing after yesterday’s fantastic seed swap that Meg organized. Can’t wait to make bread with this! It was so much fun to meet amazing gardeners and share seeds, plants, information and other goodies. I’m excited to start figwort, rutabagas, four o’clocks and a bunch of other seeds I don’t normally grow. Expand your garden and its possibilities every year. Connect with other gardeners—that’s what it’s all about. .

That’s one heck of a lemon, plus camellias, paperwhites, ferns and lots of winter-weary Minnesotans enjoying the warmth and humidity at @comozooconservatory Thursday. What a gift the conservatory is to our community! More photos in my story. .

A small group of the seed catalogs covering my kitchen table, floor, office during this time of year. My garden is always its biggest, lushest and most carefully tended in January. 😀 blog post over in the @mnhort blog about seed shopping on a budget. Check it out at northerngardener.org/blog

Another snowy, slushy day here. Time to dig up the memories from last summer, when the bees were cavorting in the garden. Good times. .

I just wrote a blog post for @mnhort on Norfolk Island pine and what a wonderful indoor tree it is. This one is next to my reading chair and it’s got such lovely soft foliage, I can’t help but pet it sometimes. Mine is a year old and under three feet tall, but will grow to up to eight feet in 10 years. Looking forward to that! For more info, check out the post in northerngardener.org/blog
