preseason
I ordered my seeds today, only about a month later than I should have. Since I don't really have any idea what I'm doing I just picked some things randomly; we'll see what comes up. Mostly, actually, we'll see what we have room for in the garden. Hopefully there will be many more plants than we can actually fit in, and hopefully we'll be able to find folks to distribute the surplus to.
Why did I finally manage to get my act together today? A combination of factors: if I didn't manage to get the order in in February it would have been just too embarrassing; and I was extra-motivated by being able to see the garden for the first time in living memory. Yes, the snow melted off nearly all the yard yesterday, and a cheering sight it is indeed, even with the largeish patches of dead thatchy lawn. Yes yes, we're going to get another big snowstorm tomorrow with 'significant accumulation', but it can't stick around long now. So it's all just more water at this point, right?
