It has arrived! It has arrived far too early. I am in holiday mode. The Christmas tree is just up and I haven't wrapped a single Christmas present. But, nevertheless, it has arrived. The Spring catalog. And I have already looked through it! I can't help it. I am obsessed. I have looked through it and have confirmed that I will never, ever be able to decide what crops to grow this coming year. There are far too many choices, as there always are, and even after I have made my final selections and placed my order, I won't really, truly have made up my mind. I'll probably order some more, later in the season, and try to squeeze just a few more plants into the beds. It has always been a challenge for me to make a garden plan and stick with it. I always end up modifying it. Because I know that I can fit just one more variety in...except when I can't. I always end up with multiple unopened packets of seeds. Its like having eyes to big for my stomach, except they're too big for my garden! I tend to crowd just as much in as the beds will hold, and because I use mostly raised beds, it somehow, miraculously, always seems to work out.
And so...it has arrived, and I will start my obsessing. Before Christmas and long before there is even a chance of snow, I will start obsessing over my Spring garden. And I will love every minute of it!!
