#GardenWithJulia – Winter Sowing Update 2
Ok, I’m gonna be honest here–I stopped checking on and even thinking about the winter sowing project once I had plants in containers. I’ve managed to transplant the oregano, sage, and thyme, but the thyme has withered. Look what I found when I decided to snoop around.
A marigold in bloom
Rosemary!? (I’ve yet to successfully get this to grow from seed, so I’m not 100% on this)
A pepper plant?
Tomatoes!
And here’s all the containers.
Are you trying a garden this year? How’s it going?

#RockMyTBR 2017 April Recap
#RockMyTBR (link) is a reading challenge hosted by Sarah K., The YA Book Traveler. Basically, the challenge is to read books that you already own that were published before the beginning of the year. I love this challenge. Even though I didn’t complete it last year, it was still fun to participate in and see what others were reading. Here’s my intro post for this year.
So how did I do in the month of April?
Altogether I read four books in April, and NONE of them were for #RockMyTBR.
Really, I thought I read more than that :-\
And really, I need to get hoppin’!
Are you participating in this or any other reading challenges? How are you doing?

This time I read the ebook version instead of listening to the audiobook, borrowed from my library’s Overdrive. Continue reading “Review — A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab”
