As Simple As A Windowsill...



When days start getting shorter, and nights start getting colder,

I start to look for ways to keep the summer garden close.

Like cuttings from the courtyard, in simple green glass vases,

Gathered before winter comes, to lead the way to spring.

    Lovely. 'To lead the way to spring' -- wishing my road was as short as yours to get there.

    Looks like the sun shines on that window every day. Gorgeous as always Laura.

    Thanks everyone! This is the window over my kitchen sink, and there's always some variation on this theme going on! A great place to bring in something to admire a little closer!

    Hello,

    What a wonderful idea. It is always wonderful to find new ways to bring the garden inside.

    By the way, I found you on Blotanical - Welcome!

    Lovely calm picture. My cuttings seem to almost always turn to black slime - so not your beautiful picture!

    Hi Laura, I was browsing round Blotanical and stopped by. Beautiful photo of the vases/plants on your window sill. Loved going through your details of your work too. Very impressive!

    What a lovely photo! I have a deep windowsill in my living room that's not too wide and gets plenty of sun - think I'll give your idea a try.

    And hope my cat notices the vases there BEFORE he tries jumping up!

    Your window sill looks awesome. I would prefer to have cactus plants protruding into the interior of the room at the window providing a great window sill
