And the kale and a few others made it through the whole winter even when it went 7 below zero.

I think we need a Hori knife too!<br /><br />We are both getting anxious about buying our own place so that we can have a real garden. Since we are renting we don't really want to put the time into digging up a larger area.Michèle Hastingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346907762804197879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-50547754693852072012014-11-04T05:44:57.533-08:002014-11-04T05:44:57.533-08:00Hey Dennis, I'm afraid the mule would be me, h...Hey Dennis, I'm afraid the mule would be me, haha!<br />Hey Carol, my feeling is that no matter how much money you have, it's all relative and you always need more, somehow. I would rather have my family and my friends.<br />Hey Mary, Yep our table could tell some stories. I got it when Wesley was born, it's the only table she has ever known, one day when I am long gone she will have all those memories when she sits down to eat. What a great thing to be able to pass on to her.<br />June, this is our first year for a winter garden and it's more of a learning experience, we certainly won't get a big yield, but we will learn a lot!<br />Sandy, would love to see those hori photos! It's interesting how much gardening and pottery have in common, maybe that's why so many potters have gardens.Tracey Broomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560971496423789576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-7405601763253646462014-11-03T19:15:45.306-08:002014-11-03T19:15:45.306-08:00man I should post pictures of my hori's!

I have a library of books and still have so much to learn after 50 years….. a lot like glazing :) <br />Have decided to let our gardens and gardener rest for the winter months this year. I'll let ya know how that works out. I think I'm gonna be pretty cranky come January :) <br />Great post….. it's the journey!!

I've had mine for several years and I recommend it to everyone. I can plant, weed, and it's also great when dividing perennials like day lilies, hostas, etc. <br />I laughed out loud with your first sentence, because I could so relate! <br />It's wonderful that you are learning so much. Sounds like you picked the right job. I've been transplanting some basil cutting I rooted in water, and doing a little bit of seed savings; but today will be mainly for soap making.I didn't plant a winter garden this year (too pooped from caring for two gardens the past seven months). Hopefully I'll have some decent soap made before we get the first freeze and I have to put the garden to bed for winter.
