And we're off!

It’s not spring in WNC if we’re not under in a few inches of snow. It least, that’s what spring in 2010 has been thus far. Out on yet another snow day (day 13 so far, though not all in a row), and the lazily falling flakes make me literally hungry for the heat and bother of our garden.

So, to add insult to frigid injury, I decided to check the Gurney’s Web site (www.gurneys.com) to see where this year’s seeds are and how soon until we meet; apparently, there’s no better time to receive live plants and seeds than during a snowstorm!

Currently on their way are:
- Crimson red rhubarb
- Miragreen peas
- Gotta Have It (Gurney’s exclusive corn)
- Rainbow bells tomatoes
- Black Krim tomatoes
- California white garlic
- Fairytale eggplant
- Vital Green spinach
- Rainbow blend carrot
- Butter crunch lettuce
- Coronado Crown broccoli
- Sweet basil

And, the much anticipated:
- Ozark Beauty strawberries

Of course, we are ill prepared for this; guess it’s time to get the boxes going and to start some seeds.
