I know it's only the 2nd of April, but I'm feeling the gardening bug growing stronger every day. And yes, I know that we've had a week of freezing temperatures at night with everything from sunshine to snow during the day. That may be my reality for now, but in my mind I'm dreaming of beautiful red tomatoes, fresh basil, cucumbers, green beans, a variety of peppers, and zucchini.
In addition to the veggies, I'm planning an herb border that will include curly parsley, chives, rosemary, sage, and thyme.
A few weeks ago some friends invited us to dinner and served a salad of curly parsley and sun-dried tomatoes topped with grilled chicken and a basil dressing to die for. I've always enjoyed parsley, but having it as the base of a salad was divine. So, parsley is definitely in the garden plans this year and going forward. I'm also planning to incorporate the "Back to Eden" gardening techniques. If you haven't heard about this, check out the video and FAQs at http://backtoedenfilm.com/#movie.
Enough about me. What are you dreaming of for your gardens this year?
