Summer is Coming

 


It is the bleak midwinter, but the sun is coming back, and planning a garden sounds like a fantastic thing to do. Dropping the names of the plants on the beds brought clear pictures of warm days and productive beds. Green. Humidity. Sweat. The baking sun. 

Accordingly, I spent some time on it this afternoon and ordered the seeds to make most of it happen. It's not a cheap thing, and maybe we can try to do a better job this year of saving seeds for next year. But it isn't horrible. And it should take at least a $100 bill out of the groceries next year. 


For the time being, we seem to have broken out of the deep freeze. The snowman of a couple of weeks ago is a little the worse for wear. But another snowstorm is on tap for next Tuesday. There's a long way to go until we start the greenhouse in the first week of May (having learned a valuable lesson about the weakling plants that come out of a greenhouse started in February last year).
