Gardening (Planning for Spring)
So, it is that time of year where the seed companies are sending out their catalogs full of glossy photos of beautiful vegetables, flowers, and herbs. We got our first catalog of the season on Friday and Bry and I have been thumbing through it all weekend, oggling the colorful vegetables. This spring’s planting will require a bit more thought since we will be moving in July/August due to my finishing grad school. So, we must plan for crops which we can harvest before that time. It seems like our main focus will be herbs, peas, and lettuce. We have already started on the lettuce front. One of our potted house plants wasn’t doing so well, so it was composted and the soil in the pot amended. In the pot went a few red romaine seeds and a few spinach seeds. Now, if we can keep the cats from pawing at the dirt until the seeds germinate, we will have a lovely coffee table centerpiece planter of salad greens. Yum!
