It is hard to even believe that we will be able to garden, when looking out the window and seeing the many feet of snow. However gardening season is coming our way!

When thinking about what you want to plant, you can do two things. You can plant your own seedlings ahead of time or you can go to a garden centre and buy plants already started. Planting your own is obviously more cost effective. Also with planting your own, if they don't turn out or there is a problem with them you can fall back on buying some of your plants.

I would encourage you to try planting seedlings. If you have children it is great to have them help and start having some responsibility with the family garden from the beginning of the season. Children love seeing the end result especially if they have nurture the plant from the seed and realise that the produce takes love and work.

Here are some sights to help with seedling planting.

Enjoy the sites above! Even though there is an abundance of snow, let's be thankful that there is as it will give the dry land of last summer a nice drenching in time for all of us to break the soil for our 2008 gardens!!!
