  2. Thanks Katherine! I do a have a few beauties in there! I've never had a winter garden before and I suppose it just feels slow in comparison with the summer gardens I have had :D I do have a lot of space too, and it's just about full! I have a few seedlings in my hothouse that I hope will hurry up so I can fill the spaces!
