Gardening: The Prep Stage
Spring is “almost” here! I say almost because well, I do live in Iowa and while it is mid-late March…we could still get snow into April or May, so one has to be careful about putting the cart before the horse!But, none the less, the warmish weather we had last week and the week before got us itching and we’ve started a few seeds in the house.
This year, I got to do the vegetable garden planning and seed ordering and I enjoyed every minute of it. Throughout the past year, I’ve been working on to clean “clean” or “whole” which means a whole lot more fresh fruits and veggies, so I’m always looking for ways to save money and time. Now, that’s we’ve had a garden for a couple years, I felt that I was ready to try a few new things. Traditionally we have potatoes, green beans, tomatoes (cherry), onions, and cucumbers in our garden. This year, we’re expanding…well, not the garden sadly (even though I gave it a valiant effort and was denied), but in our varieties and I was able to find everything I wanted in the Jung Seed Catalog!
