After that super cold snap, everything in the garden kicked the bucket (except for four hearty spinach plants!). So once the ground thawed out, I got to work getting the beds ready for early spring planting (with the help of our little ladies). I've normally waited far too long to do my spring planting (I've been afraid of the cold, but seeing so many plants thrive in the cooler temperatures has given me courage!). I'm determined to have lots in the ground by the beginning of February! We might get another crazy cold snap and then I'll be back to square one, but more likely, I'll have happy plants that get to grow and produce before it gets too hot for them! We'll see how this new approach plays out. No matter what, it is exciting to have garden plans in my thoughts and dirt under my fingernails again...
