Vegetable Garden Dreams

three open pea podsI’ve got a serious case of cabin fever. I’m exhibiting all the classic signs – flannel PJ’s, making soup, organizing, re-arranging furniture and seed shopping. There’s something comforting about looking through garden catalogs with their beautiful photos of people working in the garden, bountiful harvests, and flowers in bloom. I want my garden to be green and bountiful too!

I love to play in the dirt, I love fresh vegetables, and I can’t wait to start planting. Last night I had a hard time putting the seed catalog down. I couldn’t decide what variety of butternut squash to plant. My husband would prefer no squash, but it won’t kill him to eat a few – in fact, it’ll be good for him.

I have two catalogs that I order from every year where I can find heirloom and organic seeds. There are so many sources for seeds, and I’m always on the lookout for new sources of seeds and plants, so if you’ve got any great suggestions let me know. There’s still time for me to get my hands on a catalog.
