Ready for it
july that is. i’m ready for mid-summer and all the wonderful things it brings but i will settle for mid-january and all the wonderful things it brings – seed catalogs, new garden plans, bareroot fruit trees, frost, snow, quietude, art projects, and the like. i do embrace january and february, especially the bitterly cold ones, but my heart is with summer adventures and fresh food from the garden. the freezer and the pantry will do for now, if you have a chance, get a case of asparagus this year. it makes THE BEST frozen asparagus soup that makes the mouth happy during these winter days. i must admit january is the harbinger of what i really look forward to – the beginning of classes. i get excited just thinking about evenings spent sharing with my community the amazing world of backyard vegetable gardening. so here is to it my friends, a great gardening year, a great year of learning, and a better year all around than 2010.
