THE BUG


It's that time of year again. Actually, it's been that time of year for me since January!! I've got the bug - the gardening bug. I've been back to my researching, perusing of seed catalogues, re-designing the containers' layouts, reading gardening blogs and making my purchasing lists.

Everybody's been asking me if I'm going to do as much this year since the new baby will be here May/June, and yes, I think I am - - and actually more! Since I start off most of my plants by seed anyway, that means the work begins next month and will be in a great place by the arrival of the new one. I know I would really regret it all summer if I didn't.

While in Oregon for Christmas, I found a really great container gardening book - actually the best I've ever found for what I enjoy. Most container books I've found talk mainly about flowers and/or creating containers and the layout of container gardens. This book, The Bountiful Container, lays out every fruit, vegetable, edible flower and herb that can thrive in containers. It is detailed and creative. I have read it from front to back and LOVE IT!
