In my series on Garden Blog Pioneers, I reported in the final part that Notes From Zone 4 was MIA. Well, they’re back.
If you ever had doubts that a cold climate garden could look good, take one look at their banner image and doubt no more. Then, appetite whetted, browse through their gallery. A sight for snow-blinded eyes.
As noted in their About section and other places on the site, they are very involved in raising animals now, and the garden takes a back seat. But of course, even in the animal department, they don’t do things halfway. I had never heard of Icelandic sheep, and wasn’t aware that any sheep breed could live on the kind of land that people routinely raise goats on. Consider me educated.
Welcome, back, Lisa and Frank. I’m looking forward to a very interesting read.

Hi there. It’s great to be back. I’ve got a garden that’s been neglected for a whole year to get back in shape, and to be honest, I’m looking forward to it tremendously. My archives are going to be a great help. “What’s that?!”
(I am in heaven thinking of the fabulous compost I will have with all my sheep bedding!)
I can’t wait to start my window boxes under lights again this year.
Yay! I love being back.
