As the saying goes... everything seems like "madness" as the month of March progresses. As for me, it's more than basketball (although I do stay tuned to the Blue Devils... and I really enjoyed the ACC Tournament and await the NCAA Big Dance). Along with BB madness, I start "gardening madness"; so many seeds to be planted, so many gardens to plan, so much pruning to do, and on and on and on, but I love it. The hope of what's to come... SPRING! I can hardly believe that snowdrops are already blooming and one little crocus has bravely opened its purple petals. My madness is compounded by quilting projects almost, but not quite finished. Now I have a new project to finish for a raffle (benefitting St.Vincent de Paul) taking place on April 4. The success of my last quilt/raffle is hoping to be repeated.
Next weekend our Master Gardener Group has a Spring Symposium... national gardener speakers and a whole day of just gardening enthusiasium. It will be several days of work for me, but well worth the effort. Again... more madness and more fun!
As for my personal gardening, did I mention that I already have lettuce, tomatoes, eggplants and basil growing in the basement? This year I am documenting/photographing my activities in preparation for a gardening lecture I will be doing in 2010.... all about vegetable gardening. I will post some photos on another entry.
Off and running.....

Sandy, you need to post photos of your emerging veggies! I'm hoping to plant something in a pot on the back deck this spring, so that Zach can help me water it, and then "harvest" our veggies when they are ready. Suggestions? I'm thinking bell peppers or tomatoes since he'll be able to see the veggies sprouting, but let me know if you think something else would be better.
great idea for Zach. tomatoes and peppers would be perfect... especially if you get the small varieties... like cherry tomatoes and golden baby belles. I have both of these growing (just babies at the moment) which I can share with you. (seeds and plants). You probably can't put outside until June... I can bring for Em's graduation!
