After cuddling up with a few of my favorite seed catalogs the last few weeks I finally have the seeds ordered for the 2011 season! It may seem a little crazy to order seeds so early in January, but I can assure you it is quite wise. I order early so that I can get most if not all the varieties that I want. Even though I've ordered the seed just after the new year there are a handful of varieties of vegetables that are already back-ordered! Most will come in long before I need them, thankfully. 

Soon the boxes of seeds will be coming in the mail. With each one comes a little reminder that spring is coming. We may be in the middle of winter now, but winter won't last forever. Looking at the seed catalogs in the dead of winter is a great way to battle cabin fever and the winter blues. They are full of beautiful pictures and various possibilities. I dream of what I want to grow (a little of everything). Nothing fails to grow, but weeds. Ah the dreams of a farmer. 

So tonight I'll curl up with my hot chocolate, dream of my beautiful farm-to-be and sigh the contented sigh of a job well done.
