January, and the seed catalogs are in my mailbox with their beautiful, colorful pictures of flowers and vegetables, enticing me to think of spring, while the wind howls outside and the weatherman is promising very cold weather all next week. Never mind the weatherman. I will sink into my soft warm chair to browse the catalogs and dream of black soil on my fingers, what I will plant and in which bed, and look at ideas for something I have not tried before. What worked last year, did I have too much of something, not enough of some other plant? Should I plant some new flowers? What should I put in my herb bed?
I have time to plan, after all it is only January, and this is SD, where the garden soil will remain cold well into May. Dream on!
