Family Tree by Signe Wilkinson for January 26, 2020

Nothing like a cold winter day, snuggled up by the fireplace and reading the latest seed catalog. Ah, wonderful dreams of the perfect garden on a snowy day.

Actually, they should just send me a post card. Once I see “Jungs” or “Burpee”, I pitch the catalog, but it does send me straight to the website.

In the subdivision where I used to live people were out planting their gardens the first warm day of the year even if it was in February. Then when the weather (shockingly) turned cold again all the seeds died.

If you must plant things so early, build a cold frame or a greenhouse!
