It's been raining for the last couple days and I'm learning from my friends in Boulder that they had no moisture in March -- which is usually the snowiest month. Yet, they are optimistic and their vegetable beds are composted and ready for planting seeds for cool weather greens.

I've stayed nice and warm and dry inside and wandered all over the Internet finding websites, podcasts, apps and an on-line
Garden Planner application to help me plan -- or dream about -- a veggie garden and an herb garden. I'm in the free 30-day trial phase. Then, it's $25 a year. They send you emails reminding you when to plant what.
Useful garden plot planning advice from some of the podcasts:
- Start off small and slow
- Don't plant more veggies than you need to feed your family
- Keep the garden in view of where you eat breakfast so you'll be reminded to tend it
- Try not to over think or implement too much too soon (all the information on the web about companion planting, crop rotation and beneficial insects can come later)
- Keep tools simple
It's easy to get carried away in the dream stages. And it's obvious that I will need wake up and make my plans more realistic. There's still time.
