T stands for....a new cup (paired up with Christmas card printing and winter gardening)

I finished my Christmas cards and am now looking forward to sending them out to some lovely people. This year I printed them with different techniques like linocut or gelli plate. I found this fun video of creating printing templates for the gelli plate with a hot glue gun. :)


I'm always searching for veggies that can be planted in the garden during winter. Winter here doesn't bring as much snow and cold temps as it did 10 years ago, but it can get quite frosty on some days. So here we have a winter pea, which will bring peas in early spring, planted in November.


There's some winter garlic, which will be ready for harvest in June/July.


I also have some broad beans (Vicia faba), which can deal with low temps and will be ready for harvest in May/June.


And to qualify for "T stands for...." with Bleubeard and Elizabeth, I'll show you a tea can I made at a team building event in office. Was a lot of fun and ofc mine has to picture a bird.


I'll enjoy some tea or coffee from this one in the very near future.

  2. You're so lucky you can grow anything in the garden in the winter. I did have one plant of kale I forgot to pull last winter that was still alive come spring, but I wouldn't count on planting it. Nice holiday cards and I love your new mug too. It's very pretty. I hope you had a lovely T day. Erika
