GARDEN DREAMS...


Okay, so anyone else got garden ITCH going on? Ya know, this is February and this is when I start getting all excited about the garden! I have looked through all my seed catalogs, my eyes are all glazed over from looking at all the pictures of huge vegetables and gorgeous flowers. My little heart gets all pumped up for some dirt (oh yeah, not dirt,,,, it is SOIL) action.



To me a garden is kinda like childbirth. In childbirth, women forget about how much pain they went through and how miserable they might have been.



Well in a garden, a gardener forgets how many weeds they had to fight and how grassy it got; how miserable it got.


I am all excited because this year I may have a gardening partner. My husband always helps when he can, but this year his cousin wants to put in some vegetables. She is a master gardener, but lives in town. We always have a good time when we get together and have a lot in common. I know she loves to dig in the soil too. Should be fun!


So time to start planning, get that garden thinking going and pray the snow goes away soon!!!!

  1. You are so fortunate to have the space for a garden ... and smart to use the land to your advantage. Here's hoping spring finds its way to you very soon. Blessings, Tammy

  10. One of the best investments one can make is to invest in a garden that could supply fresh veggies and fruit to the family needs.
    Good Luck with the planning and the actual working!
