O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! The Fedco Seed Catalogue is here!! Admittedly we received it back at the tail end of December but I am just now casting my eyes on what I think of as the catalogue of fresh hope and new beginnings.
I have a confession to make – last year’s growing season for Carolyn and me was a dud. We missed the window for starting all our seeds so, like dominoes falling, the rest of the season simply fell apart and never materialized. But that was last year…..
This year I am very excited to take another crack at the role of amateur gardener. One project I want to undertake to make the seedling stage more productive / fun is to build a hoop house! I’ll try to document the construction and implementation of this endeavor for your entertainment and our mutual education. I will be looking for guidance from my old friend Ray Williams of Back Beyond Farm. He is my go-to guy for my endless questions on the dark art of growing vegetables competently.
So I will close by wishing all of my fellow growers, both professional and dabblers, an upcoming bountiful and fulfilling growing season!!
