Winter is truly here to stay. It's not even January and the seed catalogs are starting to roll in. It's a good time to spend indoors reading and leafing through seed catalogs anyway.
The good news is that from here on in, the days will slowly get longer. I'm keeping a watch on the new greenhouse for the first date that the sun will be high enough to flood the windows with light. My guess is somewhere around the first week of February.
I'm beginning to start planning the gardens of 2009 on paper. Never too early to start. Which leads me to close with the possible theme of 2009 - I'm guessing the year of the "Bean". 2007 was "squash" and 2008 was "Tomato."
