I'm enjoying resting up during this garden down time, but it really is almost time to get the plans flowing for the next growing season! Mike has been getting new seed catalogs in the mail, and he's already picking out his new favorite varieties. I'm also looking forward to being a little more involved in the vegetable planning this year. We had a great year of hot peppers, but I'm very much looking forward to convincing him to let me grow snap peas, lettuce, and zucchinis! I'm also thinking about increasing our herb production, and maybe finally getting a nice plot of herbs just for making tea!
As soon as I get a little more time off work, I'll start perusing the catalogs myself to make some plans for the flowers. Burpee has an exciting new zinnia variety called Queen Red Lime. Check it out-- it's beautiful!:
For now, here's a few pictures from last year to remind you that Spring flowers really do exist. Perhaps I should go get the rest of my Fall bulbs planted now that the snow is melting away? Flower gardens are like Christmas light displays; you just keep wanting to make them bigger and better every year!
