I can't Wait to get these in the the containers I made. I followed directions I found online for newspaper pots and milk container planters in the winter sowing section of the Garden Web Forum. I will post pictures after I have started sowing this weekend. The Garden Web Forum is awesome it has information on everything you would ever want to know about gardening.

I wish I could spend all day in my garden. I can't wait till the weather breaks and I can get my hands dirty. I love the anticipation in late winter. The possibilities are endless. I am imagining a huge hop vine trellised across my front porch and wildflowers beneath. Its weird, with other hobbies I've had (I'm thinking home-brewing specifically) any failure was a complete deterrent from trying again. With gardening however, it's different. There is a natural cycle to things in the garden. This may seem obvious but its strange how my entire way of thinking about this cycle deepens each year as well as my appreciation of life, i think.
