Cabin Fever....Plan a garden.

As I look out the window next to me it's snowing again. While I'm glad that for the moment I'm inside and warm, it is beautiful out there. It has been a long time since I've posted on here. Busy with other things. First there was getting ready for winter, then the holidays. Now, with new seed catalogs in hand, I'm thinking more and more about spring. It's time to start spending more time in my little greenhouse and get things growing.

This year I will be growing my herbs as usual but adding to my list of vegetables. We're also expanding on what we grow in our own vegetable gardens. My seed order from Johnny's Seeds came. Some of the tomato varieties I had gotten from them last year are not being carried this year, so will have to look elsewhere for them. They did have some interesting new Basil's I'm going to try this year. Right now it's time to pot up some of the cuttings I took last fall and start taking new ones. I described how to do this on here about this time last year.

When you start felling a little cabin feverish, get out your pictures of last summers gardens and start thinking about planning what your gardens will look like a few short months from now. Think about what worked, what didn't, what should be moved or replaced, and what's new to get excited about trying this year! I found some seed for a blue pumpkin that our grandchildren can't wait to grow....what have you found?
