OK, Spring isn’t here yet, but it is time to take some action. I know, there’s a blizzard blowing down today, but in just a few weeks (around February 15 in zone 6) it will be time to plant spinach out in the garden – and by the end of February it will be time to plant early potatoes. Not to mention anything that you are planning to start indoors. So, this is just a heads up.
If you’re hoping to plant any varieties that aren’t available off the shelf it’s time to place your seed order pretty soon. No catalogs? Just Google for garden seeds and place your order online.
In just a few weeks it WILL be spring with birds singing and buttercups blooming – and you’re going to want to get your hands in the dirt. An early start really helps you to get the most out of your garden – and will make your garden the envy of the neighborhood. Act now so you can be ready!

One of the first harbingers of Spring is a glimpse of crocuses or daffodils peeking through. But in January?
So far in middle TN we haven’t really had very much cold weather yet, and we’ve had highs in the upper 60s several times in the last couple of weeks – thus the daffodils peeking through the mulch. Actually they weren’t really peeking through – I uncovered them by accident while grubbing out chick weed yesterday – New Years Day. Anyway, they’ll be fine – I covered them back after taking that picture. BTW fear not, although it might be a bit early those bulbs will be fine. Just sprinkle a bit of loose mulch over them if you must – or not. » Read more: January in the Garden
