Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I would give anything to dig my hands in the soil and get dirt all caked under my fingernails. I miss spring and summer! Our ground is frozen solid. Not a darn thing to do in the garden these days! A couple days before Christmas I went out to clip and snip some green sand berries to bring in for some arrangements. It felt so good! Come on spring...

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	It will get to 55 here today. I'm think I'm taking an afternoon walk. My son and husband are skiing/snowboarding for the day with a couple other fathers and sons. They probably won't even have to wear jackets. But the ground is still frozen!

yepthatsme2 Member Registered: 08/08/05 Posts: 816 Loc: Fredericksburg, Va.	Suppose to be 55 today here also. Even during the winter if I find a warm day, I rather walk outside. We have a lot of inclines, that make for a better workout. Contractors, are out today with my door...whole frame is gone right now, so it's a bit cold in here this morning. Sun in hitting on the trees out back, it's looking to be a warm sunny day later on.

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Great idea...and TVC150 can probably tell us some "gardening" things we could be doing right now in preparation for the Spring. Or maybe there are some things that could be started "inside" until then...You can tell I don't have a clue what I'm talking about here. But I've always been interested in reading about, and playing around with garden stuff. TVC150? JJ

TVC15 Member Registered: 09/03/04 Posts: 2538 Loc: North Carolina	I always use the winter to plan next year's garden. I go through gardening catalogs and buy seeds. I make diagrams of where I want to plant things in my yard. When it gets closer to planting time you can start your seeds indoors in a sunny window. JJ, it's funny that you brought this up because I have a new article up this week (finally) and at the bottom of it is a winter gardening idea for growing a sweet potato vine indoors. And while you're there check out whose book I recommended this week! You can find the article here: www.gardenandhearth.com/gardencooking/Growing-Sweet-Potatoes.htm

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Well slap my grandmaw...I didn't know that Sweet Potatoes and Yams were two different veggies. I guess everyone on here knew that, right? Well, I sure didn't. Hmmm...learn something new every day! JJ
