With the days as cold as they are, gardening is strictly limited to daydreaming.
Tom Kasper recommends using these cold days to plan for your upcoming vegetable garden. Raised beds have become a more popular choice for both novice and veteran gardeners. When constructing your garden space, remember the "Six and Six" rule; the space should get at least six hours of sunlight, and the soil should be at least six inches deep.
And just as much as the technical elements, keeping a positive outlook is important. Envisioning what your future garden will look like is sometimes the first step to success and contentment.
