Gardens are always planned and mulled over in the winter.
That's the only time a gardener is free from outdoor chores, the only time muscles don't ache, the only time instruments of torture have been left to hang from their pegs in the garage. The work load is light.
Life is good.
After the spring catalogs have been studied, reach for what the British used to call an "improving book." The wind may be howling outside, and the garden may be covered in snow, but, right now, the fireside's warm. The atmosphere's cozy. And, there won't be a better time to prepare for the spring thaw--it's time to catch up on your reading.
