Speaking of the Garden...

We have the farmer's almanac on hand to help us with timing and placement, but this is a good time to be brainstorming about garden planting for spring.

I have opted not to do my own starter seeds since the timing falls directly at the end of my pregnancy and first month postpartum. There are quite a few members of my church who do their own and often will offer up the excess. Otherwise we'll get them from the home improvement store where my husband is going to be working (employee discount, baby!).

So in an effort to not bite off more than we can chew (hardy har har har), we're going VERY SMALL this year. Our top choices that we can't live without and that's it. Just to get our feet wet, hands dirty, thumbs green, etc.

Cucumber
Tomato (not cherry)
Green Pepper
Carrots

And the herb garden:
Basil
Cilantro
Dill
Rosemary
Oregano
Chives (which were already growing this fall when we moved in so they may be free!)
