I drool over the pictures. I imagine growing wide swaths of vegetables and having them appear on the table fully prepared. The canning shelves stock themselves with gleaming jars of summer love. No more shipped-in veggies at the grocery store. Food abounds! Imagination--everything is magic.
I am trying to be practical and realistic in my planning. These traits being antithetical to my nature, I find this an exercise in overcoming wild flights of fancy. I'm an idea girl. Once I gain an understanding of what is required and how it is accomplished, I'm over my obsession. But, this garden is one obsession that I feel is important. [And each garden is brand new so I can't get bored or feel I've learned everything!]
I've still got seeds from my order last spring--things that I planted and others that wouldn't sprout or I didn't have room for.
