I know it seems like gardening, and the resulting fresh produce is miles away from what you see out your window today, but now is the time to jump on the gardening train. We are fortunate in that Brooke's parents (my in-laws) live on an acreage, so we will each be stealing a plot of land out there. In addition, I will be planting as full of a garden as possible in my normal sized backyard. Right now we are planning what will be planted and where, as well as getting a start on some items that require longer than what our growing season provides. The above photo shows preparations for starting leek seedlings. Yay! Stay tuned this spring as we feature what we are doing in our gardens, things we make from our gardens, and all sorts of helpful resources for people to buy more locally sourced food.
Look forward to more gardening posts. I just started a bunch of herbs today. Huge snowbanks, and planting seeds. It's healthy for the morale, is it not?
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you grow - and what you do with it!
ReplyDeleteHi Kevin,
ReplyDeleteIt is totally good for the morale! With all the cold weather we were getting it was a must to do something to remind ourselves that winter eventually ends!
My husband is itching to start his seeds. We just got home from a trip and he's already pulling out his seed collection :) It's so great having a garden to "shop" for produce everyday.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! I might take the plunge and start a community garden plot this year ... but I haven't quite decided yet. Either way I'm excited to hear about your gardening experiences and tips.
