The recent snowfall in our area has only increased the severity of my Spring fever, and alas, I fear that Mr Groundhog’s prediction of an early Spring has missed us once again. In the meantime I’m still pouring over my seed catalogs and trying to decide what new things I will try this year. I think it will involve my ever favorites tomatoes and squash, and sampling of blue potatoes and artichokes, and more flowers than usual – plus I’m helping a friend design her first ever herb garden. I am determined to get her interested in gardening and I’m honing in on her cooking passion to do it.

In our new adventure of blogging, we are encouraging lots of input from you, our loyal early readers. We’d love to get your comments, ideas or plant/gardening questions. We’ll respond to them in future episodes!

As we start something new in our lives there is always a first step. This is our first step into blogging world. We have lots of good ideas for developing this blog into a good source of information for the Inland Northwest gardener. Hope to see you back soon.
