It's that time of year again


It's that time of year again. I'm flipping through various seed catalogs, stalking potential seed swaps, and planning out this year's gardening calendar. Cold January days bring out the hunger for a garden bursting with green. Last year's successes inspire plans an even larger harvest this year. Finally, mistakes from last year will not be repeated this growing season - instead I shall make brand new mistakes!

Things I learned:
1. Don’t plant tomatoes within 2 feet of my fence.
2. Make my fence higher.
3. Deer like tomato blossoms.
4. Wait. Start tomato seeds indoors in March, not early February.
5. Grow extra seedlings and share them around the community garden again.

I have white sage seeds planted that will (hopefully) be sprouting any day. Next up, starting a new indoor herb garden of chervil, chives, and various basil.
