thinkin' spring




so, it's 9 degrees right now. funny how that doesn't matter, once your brain decides it's spring. i have been resisting temptation to look at seed catalogs, but this morning i caved. placed an order at botanical interests, with strict restrictions on myself to spend no more than $25.

yes, the reason i ordered this year from botanical, is because of their packaging. for the record, i've bought their stuff (which is mostly organic & heirloom seed) in greenhouses before. so i am not just buying the artwork, i hope.

i made a pretty utilitarian list...but somehow, the "fun stuff" made it's way in there too, like carnival carrots, edamame (won't THAT be fun to try!) beans, and zebra tomatoes.

better get some potting soil. not much longer to wait :)

happy spring, ya'll.
