Most wonderful ideas need to be brewed slowly and with tinkering. The time spent in meditation on the desired outcome creates a metaphysical weight that helps propel it into action when the time is right.
This is what I tell myself as I impatiently stare out the window at the snow, anyhow.
Some things you can do while we're waiting for spring:
Draw up garden plans including your crop rotations
Research new plants that you've been considering adding to your garden (We're putting in 2 elderberry)
Order seeds and starts
Create seed tape for tiny seeds like lettuce (all you need is a roll of toilet paper and a mixture of flour & water as "glue")
Start slow-growing crops like onions indoors
Start a garden journal, if you don't already have one
Preserve jars of beautiful marmalade (citrus is in season!)
Read all those garden books by your favorite authors (mine are Steve Solomon and Carol Deppe)
Drink lots of coffee and tea
Pretend you like the magical time of waiting.
What are you doing while winter is coming to a close? Let us know in the comments!
Tully would like the author to remember he is waiting for his treats... without a lot of patience!!
