One of the highlights of a true
gardeners winter (and mine) is when the seed catalogs begin arriving right after
the first of the year. Its when the deadlock of winter releases its
hold and those that love to sink their hands into rich loam, start
dreaming of next summer's garden. Its like the Sears Wish Book for
gardeners.
Now that I live in Nevada, my plant
choices have to be a little more selective, but I go over the
perennials and see what I can add to my garden. I check out the
vegetable seeds and decide what I want to grow. I start a list and
decide what I want to do the same or perhaps do differently.
Its also a time to learn more about
different plants, composting, and insect control. It refreshes the
soul.
Your turn: What hobbies do you
have? Is there any time in particular you look forward to?
Woodcarving... love to sink my knife into wet pine. It slices like butter... not to mention smells really good. :-)
