Out every window there is white. I love snow, but…

My seeds have arrived, and I’m ready for my note-filled, The Vegetable Gardener’s Bible, by Edward C. Smith.  He helps with my annual redo of the vegetable garden design. So it may be ice-jams outside, but it’s luscious tomatoes, crispy greens, and messy strawberries inside – at least in my mind.  Smith is like having an old farmer resting nearby, ready with answers to your questions.

Sleeping raised beds

One Tip – Do raised beds. They defrost sooner, drain better, and are easier to work in. I even suggest to some clients to have a ledge around them for sitting while you work.
