January is a Great Time to Plant Here!
No, I didn’t move to the south.
I’m still up here in the frigid, snow covered tundra of the Midwest. Ok, so maybe not exactly tundra… we have lots of beautiful hills, trees, rivers and lakes, but we did get our first snowfall back in November, before Thanksgiving. I do actually love how it looks outside. The beautiful white snow blanketing the landscape is gorgeous. But it is cold. You people in the south don’t even understand how cold it can be. I guarantee there will be no planting outside up here for several months. The ground is totally frozen and hard as a piece of granite.
Right about now I think most of us up here are craving a little warmth.
That’s why as I was getting ready to re-pot a couple of houseplants last week, I got a little carried away in the miniature garden area. I could imagine myself in that wonderful humid moss covered tiny world.
I decided to create an indoor mini garden world of my own to live on the shelf of the bay window in the breakfast room of our 100 year old house.
The ivy doesn’t look too good, hopefully it’ll come around with it’s new soil and companion plants. These are tiny baby plants now, but as they grow, they should fill in the planter well.
So even though it is chilly outside, and will be for several months, I can bask in the sun pouring in the south window, streaming across the room and depositing itself right on the newly planted ‘Frosty Ferns’, while I imagine life in the miniature garden.
Thank you for stopping by, I appreciate you reading along.

Your planters are so adorable, it looks like you have a perfect window for them.

Love those planted pots on your window sill…especially with that stained glass! I’ve been repotting my indoor plants too. It’s a great way to pretend to “garden”! đŸ˜‰
