I know the feeling, there is always something else you should have planted.

More than once, I have planted stuff that I did not know what it was going to taste like...and liked it.

The way I would get in trouble, was planting seeds in the styrofoam coffee cups, so nice, sitting there at the table with the woodstove going on a cold January night, and every seed was a promise of the sun.

The last year that I could garden, and not knowing it would be my last, I finished with 800 plants in the ground.....they had to be hand watered, so I did.

No, I am not sorry, as now I look out at the weeds and remember all the plants that I grew.

Most people do not know that if the kitchen onions sprout in the spring, and you plant them, you will get 4 onions and seeds, they split.

In the past, I have bought the onion sets and grown them in pots, so I could cut the leaves to use as seasoning.

You should try something new each season.

I will be here some place and am looking forward to seeing you photos.

Which state are you in? Do you have to fight snow?
