Spring is coming!

I know it's still February but March is just days away. Big box stores like Walmart are already selling seeds and I bet stores like Mississippi Market Co-op and Whole Foods are too. Even if I don't intend to buy them, seeing them in the store helps me to get through that last little bit of roller coaster weather in March and April. Each year I try to add another planter to my little balcony garden. I've started out slow because my downfall is watering the plants everyday. It's kind of like brushing your teeth...you really have to do it or everything will rot. Several of the pots I bought last spring did not winter well and the finish has cracked on those. I can start looking for replacements soon. My plan this year is to try a variety of herbs, especially since fresh herbs tend to be pricey at the market. I like the small space gardening advice and photos from fellow blogger at www.mybalconyjungle.com/ and look forward to seeing the progression of their balcony this spring and summer.
