Spring is just about here.......

I have a pile of seed catalogs on my dining room table, at least a foot high. I love this time of year. My garden notebook is full of my scrawls -- all of my wishes and dreams for my 2009 garden. I will be starting some seeds in my basement under grow lights, but I am going to try to keep it down to just a few flats. It's so hard to decide what to grow! I want everything in every pretty picture that I see!!

I think I am going to buy two Earth Boxes this year to grow vegetables on my deck. I only want a couple of vegetable plants, maybe 2 tomatoes and 2 peppers. There are only 2 of us in the house, so I don't need bushels of vegetables. I don't have too much room to plant tomatoes and peppers in my flower beds, since we removed the vegetable plot that was right in the middle of the back lawn. I had a square plot, with a small wooden fence around it. My brother said it looked like Boot Hill. lol Dan complained about mowing the lawn around it, so it is back to grass this year. I hope I can find some used Earth Boxes on Craigslist or Ebay. I don't feel like spending almost $80 to have two new ones shipped to me.

Happy garden planning, everyone!
