This is the time of year when the packed down, turned-to-ice snow is a major danger to someone as graceful (not) as I am. It is the time of year when I know, intellectually, that the amount of daylight is growing each day, but the cloud cover keeps me from believing it. And, this is the time of year that said cloud cover makes me long for just a few precious rays of sun.
However, thanks be to God, this is also the time of year that I can order from beautifully illustrated catalogs and tempting websites concrete reminders that Spring will come, followed by summer, bringing with it more sun, and in turn lettuces, beets, onions, tomatoes, and all kinds of vegetabley goodness. I have spent hours planning my beds, looking through catalogs, deciding exactly what I want to plant and plotting, too, how I can plant most efficiently to take things with me should we sell our house post-planting but pre-harvest. (Hey, I can dream, can't I.)

I canNOT get the catalog request page to work at www.jungseed.com and so I have no Jungs catalog, despite my solemn promise to myself last year to only order from Jungs this year.
Pick up the phone and CALL them? What ARE you smoking?
Just sose ya know, Jane...When the farrier was here today, I noticed the horses are beginning to shed. He says he's seen a couple doing that. That's as sure a sign as the groundhog that warmer weather is coming!
May I suggest GIANT container gardening? I got a massive tree pot from my dad (close to two feet high and two feet across) that provided us with more butternut squash than we could handle. Though not easy to move it could still be done.
