Garden Resolutions 2010

As I gaze out at the slushy grey/white snow, I am thinking about some resolutions for my Spring Garden. Here they are:

• Fertilize on a regular basis
• Plant organic seeds
• Extend the vegetable garden – my small patch last year was taken over by zucchini!
• Try growing garlic – something I’ve been meaning to do for the past few years.

How about you - do you have any garden resolutions you’d like to share? Please feel free to post them in the comments section.

Winter Garden & Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

The garden is covered with snow and there's not much to do outside. Temperature today is -11 ºC (12.2 ºF). Burr! This is the time of year, however, when I think about what I can do differently and better in the garden for the coming Spring. This is when I start looking at seed catalogues, and looking for ideas in books and magazines. Over the next few weeks I'll let you know of any good garden related books or ideas that I find. If you have books or ideas to share, please do!
