The Warm Spot

A nice warm spot, a south facing brick wall.

I’ve chosen a spot for my winter garden box. Today I cleared away the weeds and the marigold bushes that died with the frost last week. The brick wall of our house is facing south. It will absorb the heat during the day and help to retain the heat at night when needed. I also already have a drip hose running through there. I left the strawberries for now but I’ll probably move them because I plan to throw some more dirt on the area.

I cut the echinacea to the ground and cleared away the weeds and marigold bushes.
