Etsybloggers Carnival - March 26, 2010

I see on the Etsy team thread, everyone's getting excited about the nice weather. I can certainly say I'm looking forward to opening the doors and windows! I know that Tricia, at LazyT Crochet, is also thinking about the weather - she's our host for the first Etsybloggers Team Carnival this spring, 2010 - here are the two topics she gave to us to consider:

1) Cabin Fever - What do you do or what are you looking forward to doing to escape the doldrums?
2) Planning a garden this year? Tell us how you plan or prepare. Do you start your own seeds and how?

I'm so excited about laying out a garden this year - haven't had one in the backyard for a few years now. We're just about finished cleaning up the mess left my the big January ice storm. Hopefully, we can start tilling the soil this weekend. Just a little spot... for tomatoes and assorted peppers. Things we can use for salads. And I might add something else, that I see in the store. Usually, I'll let the nurseries start the plants for me. This year, we ate some great red bell peppers, and saved some of the seeds. So we'll put them into organic starter pots, and place them in the ground, after they get strong enough. Hopefully, I'll be able to keep a running account on ♫how my garden grows♫
