My perennial garden is going nuts this year. Years of not cleaning it up, putting down leaves and mulch is really paying off. #gardening #zone3b

I overwintered this dragon wing begonia and this geranium. They both have finally started to bloom, just in time to bring them inside for the winter. 🤷🏼‍♀️ #gardening #zone3b

Harvested as proxy 2 ice cream pails of valiant grapes today. I’ll freeze them for now, then decide what to do with them later. #gardening #zone3b

Something has been snacking on the strawberries 🍓 and I’m ok with that. I picked an ice cream pail full and only found 3 that were nibbled on. They are so big and sweet this year, I don’t blame them. #gardening #zone3b

If you can only grow one vegetable, pound for pound bush beans are the best value. The more you pick the more they grow. A couple plants in a pot on your balcony and you’re golden. #gardening #zone3b

Found some red shallots in the cupboard that had started to sprout, so I planted them. With the snow outside it will be nice to have some fresh green onions to add to salads and such. #gardening #zone3b
