Screw it! I'm Gardening!
So here we are, almost smack in the middle of February. In the northern hemisphere, it's mostly cold, damp, windy, rainy, snowy, icy...or any wintery combination thereof. The last thing on anyone's mind right now is gardening. This is true, save for one specific type of person. The gardener. Gardeners know full well that even in the colder months, some form of gardening is absolutely necessary in order to ensure the best outcome for the coming warmer months. For the novice gardener, 'garden prep' isn't something that comes as a type of second nature. Going to the local nursery, or garden center, and picking up 4 inch containers of fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers is far easier than planting anything fresh out of the seed packet(s). Besides, who has the time these days to worry about having to buy all the stuff needed to start any garden from seeds? Wait....who ever said anyone had to buy anything in order to start a garden?!? Do you use toilet pape...
