Next Year Garden.

I was just cruising on Facebook, when a posting from Hometalk  reminded me that seed starting time is just around the corner.  They had a link to a blog that has a lot of good info.  So instead of me rehashing it all over again, here is what they have to say:  http://oldworldgardenfarms.com/2012/12/18/how-to-easily-start-garden-and-flower-seeds-indoors-on-the-cheap/

For many of the warming areas of the world like Zones 10 and 11 have probably already started their seeds to start the early plants.

Do you know what I am talking about?  If not, I encourage you to go to your local extension service, and ask for the master gardener.  You can find your local office here: http://www.csrees.usda.gov/Extension/

If you do, you know what a fun time it can be.  Are you a person that likes to start your own seeds.  I am.  It is a challenge.  The little plants come to be another family to me.  Sadly, this last year was not a good year in my corner of the world.

We had what I have come to call the 18 months of summer.  Temps too warm for winter, no rain, no snow.  Like a lot of the country and the world it turns out. .  Not enough water thanks to the drought we encountered.  Those poor plants did not have a chance.   I am praying that this year it is better.

So what will it be this year, corn, beans, peas, lettuce or something else.  Well enjoy the process and by all means talk to those seedlings and they will love you for it.

My Wedding

I want to tell you about my wedding.  It was a suggestion that I write about this event.  

I was sick.  I didn’t know what it was but it had it for a while and it looked like it had finally cleared up the day before my wedding.  I remember running around trying to get all the last minute things that we needed.   We arrived on time and discovered that there was no wedding march, while my father in law ran to town to find the music we worked on the wedding.  

The next day seemed so long.  But finally the moment came when we were legally joined in marriage.  I decided I would enjoy it. No matter how I felt.  

It was beautiful.
