Spring in a Jar ~

Since it's too early to actually work in our gardens just yet, and I am itching to get some dirt under my fingernails...I needed a little dose of Spring...
SO

after organizing my wool worms into my collection of glass canisters or jars,

I had a couple left over and decided to do this:

 

 

tiny springs of green ~ housed in my glass jar

I remember making terrariums as a young girl...

also remember my mom keeping a couple of larger ones made from 'leaker' fish tanks...

 

 

 



beautiful, black Earth and finger-like roots...

These are once again becoming quite popular

and can bee seen in many home decorating magazines...
using everything glass ~ from jars like this, to broken lightbulbs and clear-glass ornaments!

but wait...who is that standing amongst the grennery in my little glassed garden?

 



an interloper in the vicinity?

a tiny helper perhaps?

... or a caretaker of the potted plant?

 

 

 



i s e e y o u .

oh, it's only Phineaus ~

 

...my miniscule friend...

wishing me a dose of Gnome-cheer !



hello Phineaus!

  Now I'll have to visit our local Goodwill
for more glass containers to turn into small

vessel-gardens.

 

What's that you say Phinny?

yes, you can come along too...  

 

 

Hoping you all have a green-thumb kind of day!

Blessings from the Farm,
