Garden Planning Time

I know its hard to think about gardening

when its freezing our snowing out.

But this is the time of the year to

start planning what you want to grow

and order your seeds.

I love getting my seed catalogs in the 

mail and making a wish list of what we'll grow,

and learn about new plant material.

I get out my tabs and mark all the yummy 

things I want to grow.

It so much more fun to look at a real catalog,

instead of on-line.

The kids love looking through them

too and learning all about veggies.

Its a great time to teach the kiddos

all about gardening and get them 

excited for planting season.

Here are a few of my favorite 

seed catalogs.

They'll send you free catalogs.

Baker Creek Seeds

Burpee

Territorial Seed

Seed Savers Exchange

I've ordered from all of these

places and have had great gardens by their seeds.

I also love looking through my vintage gardening

books. Here are a few fun vintage images

for you to enjoy.

mowing or trimming tips anyone....

I also spend time organizing my old

seeds and seeing what I have.

I'll be ordering seeds in the next few

weeks, and some seeds I will start inside

in February.  They will be ready to put outside

by April.  Spring will be here before you know it.

Yipee!

I hope you thinking about your garden,

whether it be container or on a larger scale.

Planning can make for a good crop.

Get planning.
