First Day of Spring

My Tomato Variety this Year 2012

First Day of Spring yesterday and I feel like my garden is already off and running even if the actual garden outside is not so  much.  Started the first of my tomatoes on Saturday (March 17th) this is my first time growing tomatoes from seed so fingers crossed.  I've given them a nice warming mat to keep them warm

Starting Seeds Indoors

Okay here's the deal, starting seeds inside can seem a little daunting.  I won't lie there are risks involved, life and death hang in the balance but it is completely possible and magical so try it.  There are so many good reasons for starting you seeds yourself.  For starters it's a money saver and who these days doesn't want a money saver? 

Spring Soon.........ish

Well spring is on its way, although it is hard to tell outside with this last little bout of snow and yuck.  I've been a bad blogger but to be fair as I reflect I think winter is not really the best time to start a blog about growing food.
A couple of weeks ago I finally embarked on  my first starting seeds indoors venture, and I must say they are doing remarkable, nothing boosts once confidence like things thriving.

Just Planning and Wishing and Dreaming........

The first of the seed catalogs arrived from Veseys Seeds a couple of weeks ago. As my gardening experience grows I enjoy more and more sitting quietly in the cold months picking out what I will grow in the coming years.

2012~a new year, a new begininng

I still remember when the year 2012 seemed like some futuristic time with flying cars and robot butlers.  As December comes to an end and with it 2011, I find my self in much the same state as every December with my mind turning to thoughts of the future.  The bigger future not just 2012 but beyond that, as a mother I now have even more reasons to question what that future holds.
