Is it spring yet?

O.K. I have to admit that the latest cold snap has done me in. I am ready for spring - or at least constant temps above zero. In an effort to keep my mind off of the frigid temps, I have started to plan my garden. Yes, I am one of those that even maps it out on grid paper to make sure everything I want will fit. I will be renting two plots at the Probstfield gardens north of Moorhead. Each plot is 20x30 feet, and for $20 a plot that's not a bad deal. It is more towards the line of organic gardening - no pesticides or herbicides - but I can work with that. If you are reading this and are like me and have a small yard that is mostly all shade, many local organizations run community gardens. Contact your local garden clubs or extension service and they should be able to point you in the right direction.
