What's Blooming In The Gorham Garden - Garden Bloom Day 2008

In my dream neighborhood, the house on one side is occupied by Ali from Henbogle and on the other side by Carol at May Dreams. Ali has chickens and a hoop house and Carol is always coming up with interesting things such as the Garden Blogger's Bloom Day.

The idea is that everyone take a picture of what's blooming in their garden. Being January in Maine, there's nothing blooming in my garden (that I can get to easily) and sadly, even less blooming in the house.

While I can grow a good crop of vegetables, I am totally inept at keeping most houseplants alive. I have a bay that has managed to survive for two winters now despite my best efforts to keep it going. I think it just hibernates and pretends that I'm not here until I put it back outside in the spring. The only other plant currently living in the house is this basil. As you can see, it too is waiting for spring and wishing I'd go away.

Wow, thanks for the nice compliment. I'll be your neighbor and bring you some plants for keeping in the house. You need something besides basil to keep you company in the winter time!

Thanks for joining in for bloom day!
