I read an article yesterday about a couple that had just found out that they were pregnant and the pregnancy had already taken over their entire lives. All they could manage to talk about and think about was the baby. I have to admit I have put a whole lot of thought into what our lives are going to be like with a little one, and yes, I have thought about the nursery and admired baby stuff in stores. I want to make an effort though to not let baby stuff and motherhood consume me. So I have been trying to divert my brain into thinking about other stuff. Today I did some research on the best herb gardening techniques and I even learned about how to grow potatoes in a plastic trash can. I think I might just give that a try this year! I know it is a little early to buy any plants just yet, but the peeking through tulips and daffodils are really getting me excited about the upcoming growing season. I just love flowers and I especially love how much money growing your own herbs saves. If I had really known what I was doing last year, I would have brought them in before they all died at the end of the season, but I guess you live and learn. I am not sure what kind of flowers I am going to pick this year for the beds because I usually mix and match any beautiful flowers I see that can grow in morning sun and afternoon shade. In hopes of staying semi-nonpregnancy-thinking, I am going to envision herbs and flowers. I get almost giddy thinking about them and I am looking forward to that wonderful day when I get to fill my shopping cart with my soon-to-be garden.
I did find some wonderful resources at Organic Gardening today, but I would love to know if anyone has found any great gardening blogs.
