I am itching for spring. This morning I woke up to the sound of a little bird singing way up in the cherry tree. Some day soon (in a couple of months), that cherry tree will be covered in blossoms. About that same time, the whole yard will be filled in a fragrant cloud–apple, cherry, plum, pear. The lilacs are my favorite spring scent–heavy, sultry. The scent of lilacs seems to wrap all around you like a silk dress and a strand of pearls.

But that’s not what I came here to tell you about! I wanted to tell you about the books I’ve been reading, specifically about the Square Foot Gardening book.

I’m convinced the Square foot gardening method is the easiest method to understand and probably one that I most likely to be successful at doing.  For the past two weeks, I’ve been poring over a square-foot gardening book, absorbing as much information as I can, and dreaming of spring.  I’ve even decided to try my hand at growing a few vegetables indoors in my dining room window.

Last year, I had my own small teeny tiny garden.  The owner of our apartment wouldn’t let us dig up the grass.  I did have a handful of tomatoes for my own tomato plants, and I realize why I don’t like store-bought tomatoes.  Since I think that every one should have a homegrown tomato experience — or fresh corn, sweet peas, or three-legged carrots — I’m giving away a copy of the square-foot gardening book.
