I was organizing my box of reference material and found some gardening notes. The notes I pulled out were taken from a book I checked out at the library a few years ago, "The Pleasure of Herbs" (Month-to-Month Guide).
This month, my notes say:
In January, I was supposed to plan (location, size & shape) and plot the garden. Then next month, I should begin cultivating the soil & start my seeds.
I admit, I'm a little behind schedule, but there's still hope for a bountiful garden. Around these parts, people say hold off on direct sowing seed until the snow melts off the mountain. Therefore, I plan to get some seeds started indoors, then harden off gradually before putting them in the ground.
I'll keep you posted.

- Purchase flats, pots & soil
- Study books & catalogs
- Blend egg shells & veggie peelings to add to soil
