T Stands for Tuesday

It's Tuesday again :) 
It's also St. Patrick's Day 
so the color and theme is GREEN  today.
We'll start off with my GREEN SMOOTHIES :)

I've started drinking them again every morning. I just kind of slipped out of the practice of drinking them back in the coldest part of winter.Warmer drinks just appealed more to me back then. I had actually forgotten how much I like the smoothies and how much better I feel when I drink them. 
Thankfully things are also starting to green up outside :) 
All of last week was very warm and sunny!
Much warmer than normal for March here with highs in the upper 70°'s and even 80° .
It was 60° when I got up at 6 am today and it has dropped to 48°  Which is a more typical March temp.
 The Mullien is popping up in the Herb Garden. Along with the Lemon Balm, Thyme turning green and the Winter Savory and Oregano are greening up too. 
 The garlic has sprouted ....
...the Iris Moss in the woodland garden is green again...... 
.... and the Daffodil bed is going strong. Lots of other things are growing but you get the drift...Spring has arrived here. ♥♥♥♥♥
Several years ago my granddaughter wanted to grow cotton so I bought some seeds and grew 2 plants . It was fun and she liked having the little cotton puffs at the end of summer. Well now those cotton buff seem to be the rage in decorating and wreaths and the price is ridiculously high. So I decided to see if the seed were still good and they are.  So I'll hopefully have my own cotton puffs and branches to decorate with this fall.  
 A few more flower and pepper seeds in the sprouting process.
You can see the tomatoes are doing well. They have been transplanted to bigger pots and today I will be adding another grow light . 
I checked on the seeds that are outside and the Bok Choy has sprouted....
I do need to go out to the garden to check the jugs out there :) 
So that's what's happening in the garden here this week. 
Go check on the other "T" post and see what those folks are up to. Just click on the button on my side bar to get there. :) 
Random thought for today...

  1. It's looking great in your bit of Missouri country! We are just starting to do some clean up. Your smoothies look good. I am starving! Love all your little seeds. It is windy and chilly here today. I am trying to think of what comfort food to cook up today!

    1. Thanks Krisha! I have Apples, pineapple and Bananas along with spinach, alfalfa, some seaweed . I also add ginger, cinnamon, and turmeric and stevia ,a dash of sea salt & pepper. Sometimes I throw in some berries or yogurt...depending if I have them or am in the mood for something a bit sweeter.

  4. Wow, I wish I had YOUR herb garden. Seems I'm going to have to start from scratch this year, Hopefully, I'll get my herbs in the ground this year, for the first time since my lasagna garden got plowed under. You have so much going on in your green world this week, I'm almost ashamed. I haven't even been outside, and it's been beautiful here, too.

    That smoothie actually looks good. Like Krisha, I'm intrigued. Thank you for sharing these smoothies, your lovely gardens, and your seedlings with us for T this beautiful, albeit cold, St. Patrick's Day.

  9. So much to enjoy your lovely green post!
    Cotton plants are so fascinating to me.
    Twice now we've seen the fields ready for picking while driving to the Outer Banks of NC and had to snap loads of photos.
    Green drinks are satisfying and the bonus is they are so good for you too!
    Lovely quotes as always too.
    Happy T Day Carol ♣

  15. I gotta tell you, I just think that you gardening people are the best. So talented with those little seeds. Can't wait to see everything in bloom. Was lucky to see cotton plants in NC a few years ago when I was there visiting my sister. They are so cute and puffy. Hope your Tuesday was good. enjoy the good weather.
