I always get a little antsy in January. The holidays are over, and it's still months before we can be outside for any length of time. We basically live outside from June through September, which is fine with me. I love eating our meals on the patio and the smell of the BBQ. I love working in the yard and planting the garden. I love picking berries and pulling up carrots. I love getting my hands dirty and growing my own food.
This will be our third year in our house, and our third garden. It'll be the first year that we are able to harvest fruit from the espaliered pear and apple trees that we planted last year. And this year we will try to plant a fall and winter garden as well. We plan to turn our garden boxes into little greenhouses for a winter crop, like this:
There is so much to look forward to...and really it's not that long before we will be able to enjoy sunshine and fresh produce. It just seems like it in January.

I really need to get a garden planted this year, we have so much room for one but have never done it!
I always find January a bit slow too but once it's gone I always seem to kick into gear:) Your garden will be fabulous!

Your garden was so amazing last year, I can't wait to see what you yield this time around!
How funny! I LOVE the "winter" because it is so friggin hot in Texas the rest of the year. I can't wait to hear more about your garden plans. My Mom is creating a "secret" garden for the kiddos...and we are moving in a year to a HUGE yard (compared to our no yard townhome) ...so I definitely want to eventually have a garden.

Planning is fun - but I never get it just right, I such at gardens actually even though I try. Maybe I´ll improve one day... Maybe..! :-)
These picture are just stunning Stephanie! I cant wait to hear and see more about your gardening plans! and those veggies looks incredible too!
I LOVE the idea of turning garden boxes into greenhouse for winter. I have to look into that for mine. Your homegrown veggies look absolutely beautiful by the way.
February. February is the month to get antsy in. Nothing but grey and cold!

You must be so so good at it, come make me a garden, will you?
