In the Garden - January 1


 Ha ha.  No, not that garden.  In case you can't tell, there's a foot of snow on the ground out there!  No, instead of being out there, I'm planning this year's garden in my head.  It's time to order seeds!


This is just a few of the seed catalogs that I've received already this year.  To be honest, I look forward to getting seed catalogs each year as much as I look forward to Christmas presents.  I'd have a mighty hard time getting through these snowy winter days without my catalogs to keep me warm.  lol!

We had some roaring successes last year in the garden that I want to repeat:  snap peas, multi-color carrots, rainbow chard, green beans.  We also had some dismal crops:  melons, small pumpkins, gopher bait, I mean, potatoes.  I'm going to try to figure out some solutions so that we get much more production this year overall.  Carin and I could have canned twice as much salsa and other yummy things if we'd had more produce to work with. 

Off to draft a garden plan and make a seed list....
