Welcome!

Thanks for visiting my blog. My posts will be mainly about gardening here in beautiful Spring Valley, Minnesota! After starting gardening here in 2008, I found that I was lacking knowledge in this topic. I decided to take the core horticulture course through the University of Minnesota in the late winter and spring of 2010. As a result of this class and continued volunteer work, I am now in my second year as a Master Gardener. I am still learning and probably will be for years to come. As I research and learn about gardening topics, I will post here. I hope you will find use for this information as I post. Please feel free to contact my with questions or post your comments. Enjoy!

Planning to Plan

Okay, so it's only January 1st.  But based on my past procrastination, I think it's not too early to get planning for the upcoming growing season.  Yes, it is upcoming and time to plant seeds indoors will be here before I know it!

So, before I plant seeds, I need to reflect on past growing seasons - what worked and did not work - as well as what I want to try.  Without this reflection and planning, my gardening probably will revert back to the haphazard nature of times past.  I'd like to avoid as much of that as possible!  Also, by planning, I feel better equipped to purchase seeds and plants.  If I can start seeds for something I want in my garden, I can be sure of getting the variety I want, while hopefully saving a few pennies.

Since my planning is a process, I will be posting more information as I go through it!  For now, I will be perusing the seed catalogs I have already received in the mail! 

Happy gardening, already!
