How to handle the winter time blues

(1/7) > >>

Grunt:
Were getting more snow tonight followed by freezing rain then more snow. I keep thinking about spring and have found a good way to combat the winter time blues. I drug out my seed catalog and started to work on this years seed order. We have eight raised beds, two cold frames,a spice and herb bed, asparagus, blueberrys, rasberrys and about 50 shiitake mushroom logs. Really nice to get a cup of coffee and a legal pad and go through the catalog. Good way to escape winter, for a bit. 

Tsalagi:
Hey, you grow shiitakes? Cool! My wife and I gather wild mushrooms. We still have King Boletes and Lobster mushrooms we dried from a couple seasons ago.

JustAim:
Yeah, I need to start thinking about the garden too.  For my family and I, winter is a time to slow down and reflect on the good times we've had and to just enjoy each others company while the day's are slow and dark. For me, I like to be in the woods when its cold to camp out and to just be with nature....or to shoot at the little critters if they get too close >:D  And no I'm not trying to ''hijack'' the thread :)

AWWWWW!!!
That splains a lot then. ;D

Grunt:
These days I'm more interested in sugar snaps, pole beans, squash, tomatoes, snow peas, cucumbers, potatoes, lettuce, mustard, spinach, swiss chard, thyme, basil, cilantro, sage, lemon grass, oregano, parsley, dill, beets, radishes,  are you getting hungry yet? I think I'm going to order some flax seed to see if I can make some linen. Be good to know how to make linen. I know that under all that snow the good earth is just waiting. Winter time blues are leaving.
