    		Oh my, can't believe I've been so absent...been somewhat busy. We were very lucky to have been spared the damage to our home and gardens from all the nasty storms that swept through our area just recently, many people I know were not so lucky. We have planted a lot of extra food to share with those who will not be gardening this spring because of this happening. The native/wild area we started last year is looking very good this spring. We also added some new beds...Poppy's, Sunflower, White Sage, Tulips and Irise's. Camera is on the blink , so will share pictures a bit later in the season when the blooms are at their best.

    		Today I went antiquing for garden art. I adore old things that were meant to be outside or in the garden. I found a lovely old white porcelian water fountain...minus the water spigot, but that's ok...I think I'll put a gazing ball or a Sundial in the top of the base and place in the center of the herb beds.   It stands 30" tall and about 14" across the top...a good find~ All the flats/trays are clean/sterlized, ready for the first planting for the greenhouse. So far the week has brought sunshine, although still quite cool, a hint of rain tomorrow, kinda springy~ I'll take it~

    		Sunshine and toasty 48 degrees all day...woo-hoo, I may break out the shorts and flip-flops~ It was nice and so comforting just to see the sun again. I now have confidence that there is a Spring in our future.   A time to grow is not far off~

    		New snow falling, ground is covered, temp is hovering around 20 with 15 for the early morning...my road trip may be on hold...will see what mid morning looks like. I've worn the gardening books, seed catalogs, and  planning pad completly to shreds~ I must get a grip, don't usually fret about the seasons and what they bring...but this winter has been brutal and too long ! I need real hard labor exercise...mind and body~:) The plants in the basement ( substitute greenhouse ) are looking beautiful, all are green and lush, mostly ferns and succulents, and a  few Sweet Bay. Off to get sleep, dream of sunny shores...and I actually love winter...just have to get a grip~

    		Hi Bea,  Question came up about fresh echinancea == does it have the same remedial power as the dried powder?  Do you know? 
    sagelady replied over 2 years ago
    		@lfin: I would say no, fresh does not have the same remedial power as the dried...fresh can only be used as a tea or a wash, and while it has a place for mainteance, it does not do what a qualified medicinal powder or tinture ( from the dried root ) will do. A decoction of the fresh root can be used very successfully in ointment form. ( this you can make yourself.) Or a wash can be used on cuts and wounds. Hope this helps~

    		Four months later, it was a peaceful Sunday for me here.  The once-a-lifetime snow is melting and the birds can drink again - and they're singing.  It's great and calm - not at all holiday stressful.  I was hoping, Bea, that you would look over this question and see if you could add to it -- especially about how to propagate a perennial herb and if now is the time.  I would like to take this to Facebook.   Here's the link.

    		Today was blessing, due to a threating of stormy weather the temp dropped and a nice breeze came to visit. I spent the afternoon cleaning and prparing beds for fall/winter crops. Peas, beans, greens, and winter squash on the plant list. Now...must tackle the green-house cleaning... But first, a day of rest and being grateful~ Have a peaceful Sunday everyone.
