Why am I up in the middle of the night you ask? Well, I have a bit of insomnia along with what I think is a sinus infection. So I woke up at 2 am with a sinus headache and running some fever. After trying to will myself back to sleep for an hour I finally just gave up and pulled out the laptop.
I love Spring and am very impatient for it to begin. Every year I start counting down the days to the first safe planting day. I want to dig in the dirt. I want to see flowers blossom and veggies start to grow. I want to feel the warm sun on my face.......
So as today is my shopping on Etsy day, I thought I might as well get an early start. Here's my list for what I need to do.
Start out with the best seeds
 |
| organic heirloom seeds |
gather together the right tools
 |
| vintage garden tools |
make sure I have some sweet garden markers, because even though I feel certain I will remember what I planted where, I know I won't.
 |
| herb garden plant markers |
think outside of the box for some interesting planting options.
 |
| walnut tree hanging garden |
be prepared to do lots of watering (I sneaked something in from my own shop)
 |
| primitive galvanized metal watering can |
make sure the grandchildren are prepared to help
 |
| kids garden apron and tool set |
and if I can't wait for spring, since i'm just like a kid in a candy store, start inside.
 |
| retrofuturistic glass globe terrarium kit |
Have fun shopping. It is now 6am so I think I'm going to head downstairs to see if a cup of hot tea will help me feel better.
(if anything in today's post doesn't make sense, I'm blaming it on the fever. I'll have to think of another excuse for the other days)
Sorry to hear you feel bad. But thinking of spring and the garden is a great way to relax when you feel bad. I need the plant markers I can't remember if this is something I planted or a new weed coming up.

ReplyDeleteSpring is on my mind as well! I think we'll do some seed starts this morning even though it's snowing outside. The warmer weather will be here with us soon!
ReplyDeleteThose herb garden plant markers are just what I need! I just started a mini herb garden.

Hope you are feeling better. I hate it when I have insomnia but thank goodness for the internet to entertain. Love the plant markers and that awesome watering can! hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling much better! I am anxious for spring also!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I'm also prone to insomnia and my iphone does not help matters :)
ReplyDeleteYou certainly are ahead of the pack in your preparations for the garden. I know you put me to shame. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteI love those plant markers. Sweet.
ReplyDeleteLove the herb garden markers -- arranged in Simon & Garfunkel's Scarborough Fair order --
ReplyDeleteparsley, sage, rosemary & thyme. Loved that song!!!
Had my fill of insomnia lately because of being on steroids for asthma. I'm usually on my laptop when this happens. The seeds packets are really cool looking, I'm getting excited too.

Great finds, Laura. Sorry that you feel so bad. It seems like everyone is down with bronchitis around here.
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon!
I love those metal plant labels! Every garden I've ever planted has failed miserably and I think that's because I never remember what got planted where. :(
ReplyDeleteI love that green hand cultivator! It actually looks like a hand, just an unusual one. It matches with the watering can perfectly… Heh, it’s because of the colors, I guess. Were you able to purchase them all, btw?
