In terms of weather, 2014 has been a glorious year–so far. A frigid winter with plenty of snow eased into the warmth of spring, which was followed by a summer more typical of northern Vermont than south-central Indiana.
Here are some of my favorite moments in the shop garden.
(For those who may wonder, I am the gardener.)
