Got the gardening fever yet? You know, when you start staring out the window or walking around the back yard or garden, silently willing things to start turning green? When the seed catalogs stay on the table days on end and the seed stash is sorted and resorted...
Not everyone does, I know, but I get gardening fever along this time of year every year. Every garden is going to be better than the garden last year.
It's almost time to start seeds indoors in much of the nation and time to start seeds outdoors in other areas. I can hardly wait! It has something to do with being frugal and something to do with being self sufficient and something to do with being a country girl at heart.
I love to dig into the soil in the spring and see it turn over, rich and moist and just waiting to give life to sleeping seeds. It's a miracle, no matter what science says about it.
