Dreaming of spring

This weekend, Contemplating heirloom seed line up for our garden. On the short list: the usual suspects- tomatoes, zucchini, onion, peas, bell peppers, a brave repeat of fennel, adding eggplant and butternut squash.
For the greens, we can never get enough arugula, spinach,
and the newcomer this year: fall kale. For fruits, I have high hopes for our blueberry bush, raspberries, and will attempt strawberries once again.
I've poured over the seed savers catalog this year and am hoping to do as many heirloom varieties as possible.
Gardening can be so rewarding (and frustrating!) but using seeds with a history makes it even more meaningful.
I hope to start growing indoors toward the end of March. The snow currently falling makes that seem many, many years away.
