More snow?!

Category: Miscellaneous | Posted: Sat Feb 05, 2011 3:10 pm

Here in Indiana we just came through a "catastrophic winter storm" that has us trying to chip our way out of one and a half inches of ice.

This morning I wake up and what do I see? There are at least two more inches of snow on the ground, and it's still snowing to beat the band!

I know it's only February, but it's beginning to feel like we'll never be able to play outside, barbecue, and garden! Old Man Winter is really beginning to wear out his welcome!

Coming back...

I joined GardenStew almost three years ago when I started my very first vegetable garden in the spring/summer of 2008. I had a pretty successful garden that year, especially considering I had no experience what-so-ever. It became one of my favorite hobbies.

In January of 2009, my husband and I found out we were expecting our first baby in the fall. Since I was quite pregnant all summer, I gave up my gardening that year. I was very uncomfortable, and unfortunately all I wanted to do was bask in the air conditioning.

I did plant a few things last year. I planted some green beans, tomatoes, and green peppers. With an infant who was not yet old enough to play outside and hang out with me while I tended to my garden, the garden kind of took a back seat.

I have BIG plans for the garden this year. My son is now 16 months old and can walk and play outside without eating grass! :) I have started a list of all the things I would like to plant this year and am excited to get started and even have my son take a role in gardening. I think he will have fun "helping" Mommy and Daddy.

I am so ready for spring to arrive! I'm pretending that I actually put stock in the fact that the groundhog didn't see his shadow, so that I can remain optimistic despite my case of winter blahs.

Hoping to be welcomed back to GardenStew!
