isn’t this just the loveliest greenhouse?

i am so wanting one for my own backyard. this one happens to be at my parents’ home. and i’m so lucky to be able to get a few of my own seeds started inside…

i planted lots and lots of lettuce and spinach…

and loads of cosmos too.

i haven’t done many edibles in my garden, so i’m so excited to see if we’ll get a few strawberries…

and broccoli too.

spending the afternoon in the greenhouse really made me remember how much i love gardening. and it just might be the perfect painting place on cold days too.

have a wonderful weekend!

……………………………………….

i have quite a few paintings i’ve been working on and lots of start to finish photos too! i can’t wait to share them all with you next week!

What a gorgeous greenhouse! I guess you have the second best thing to having one in your own backyard 🙂 Eventually when I have land and my little homestead, I want a potting shed, greenhouse, and shadehouse for the veggie garden.

Snapping photos in those places is so inspiring and really keeps me looking and being inspired... Continue reading
