A little more gardening at home, trying to add some color to the front steps with containers of poppy and petunias

Got heat?
We have a cold frame on our deck for hardening off seedlings that we start indoors under grow lights and with a heat mat. The pic is a maximum/minimum thermometer hanging in the cold frame. Looks like it went down to 35 degrees last night. This is near Redmond WA. So for now the small plants are only going into the cold frame during the day and back inside the house at night.
Time now to get a fire going in the woodstove. 🥶

Hello everyone!
Oh we had a wonderful adventure today. We went to a place called The Japanese Garden at Cowden in Dollar. I know its early in the season so not many flowers on show, but it was absolutely spectacular. So peaceful and relaxing. The weather was perfect for it, sunny but with a very slight breeze so it wasn't too warm. Naturally we popped into the coffee shop as well, scone and coffee were had.
After that, we popped into Dollar to visit the lovely Wee Bookshop. Now its a lovely bookshop with a really nice cafe, including an outdoor seating area. To be honest though, not as many books as I would like in a bookshop. Its very pretty, but almost screams "Influencer/instagram" perfect place to visit if you pretend to like books. Maybe thats just me though. The coffee was damn good though.
Superb day out, I have so many more photos to share with you all, but that is a job for later. For now, its time for food and pjs.
