Here’s to Longer Days

We just passed the winter solstice. The one day of the year with the longest night, and shortest day. I think this is a cause for celebration.
The winter solstice means the days will now begin getting longer. As the days get longer, I get closer to being in my garden again.
As soon as the new year is here I start preparing for the new gardening season.
It all begins when the seed catalogs start arriving in the mail. I start going through them and picking out what I may want in my garden. Of course I pick way too many things, and I have to make cuts later.
Then I make an outline of my gardens, and plan what I need to order. It’s always a tough decision. I always want to try way more new seeds than my gardening space will allow.
