It takes a lot to get me to Facebook, but for gardening, I'll do it!

There was a big smile when I saw all those photos of labelled seeds planted in milk cartons and other types of containers sitting in the snow. What a great experience that will be for those gardeners this coming spring! Imagine checking them every other day or so to see what's new!!

Also, it made me feel good because I know there are other gardeners who are as nuts as I am about gardening.

It was also fun to see how inventive some people are, like the person who tied the plastic bags to a pole to hold them upright.

Anyway, thanks for mentioning this and I encourage anyone else who needs a winter gardening lift to check it out.
