Would I upset you guys if I told you we grow are garden year around? Nothing is perfect, I have to have 2 garden plots so I can replant my new crop before my old crop quits producing.

I just received my starts..... won't be long now........

I tried starts once.... they all died. Didn't realize the moisture they required! Swore would never do again and haven't. Do great with sets every time if they haven't froze out.

Planted some garlic and dill last weekend. Ground still too cold / wet to work. Rhubarb is starting to sprout.....asparagus won't be too far behind.

I don't know about the rest of you, I love winter cold snow under my boots, ice crystals in the trees. But I'm done this year.....come on Spring!

Started my jalapeños in anticipation of warmer temps.

I know what you mean about the snow. Here in the mountains, you better like snow! However, now that there are bare patches showing in my yard, I am ready for spring. I am particularly waiting for the snow to get off the bed I planted my garlic in last year. Every year I worry it won't sprout. Every year it sprouts. Come on spring, I want to see that garlic!
