I would like to work on building a shelf with lighting for my seed starts but I am not sure if DH will go along for the ride. Another possibility this winter will be making a mosaic for the entrance of the potager. My hope is that this will also keep rabbits from digging under the gate. Other than that, I will keep building beds and collecting rock.

Am getting ready to plant the twenty flats of pansies I have growing in my basement next week. Plan to back them with Redbor Kale and onions. Maybe a row of mustard too.
Got to collect mulch materials and top off all the beds...

Will continue to tend the fall/winter crops in the potager. I have four beds planted in several kinds of greens, broccoli, carrots, spinach, rutabagas, onions and garlic. Then there will be the holidays, tulip planting in January, seed starting and pruning time in February, and compost spreading in March. Which will bring us back to Spring planting!

I love the sound of your plans, nancyjane! I have a few pottery plant tags I purchased at Craft Fairs over the years, and I love them! Your students are lucky to have you.

I've been looking around for some old wood step ladders to paint up & use as supports for climbers in my garden. Only able to find one 6 footer & really would like an 8 footer so I decided to build 2 folding type support using 2"x2"s & some furring strips.

Wiro Do you have freecycle in your area? Others use craigslist. I've found several ladders on those sites for FREEEE!!!!! Nancy
