According to Dr. Grow (http://www.semissourian.com/story/1498889.html) and a bunch of people that share my love of gardening, today is more than a day of hearts and roses...it's a day for lettuce!
Yep...on this less than stellar weather day, it's time to take that little packet of lettuce seed, pull on the boots, the coat, the gloves, and the hat and do a little gardening.
I haven't ventured out yet, but I will soon, just to give it a try. Had I had any sense, I would have done this when it was 35 degrees outside this morning; now it's the middle of the afternoon and hovering around 30 degrees. Of course, it is February, so it's already blown gale-force winds, snowed a little, and been pretty much regular weather for a mid-February weekend in Southern Indiana.
We're generally not much on drama around here...the weather takes care of it for us.
So, I'll head out to my little garden in a few minutes and plant a little broadcast area of seed and see what happens. Then, with a cold nose, cold hands, and a warm heart, I'll count on my Valentine to warm me up with words of understanding and love. It would certainly take someone who loves me unconditionally (or another gardener) to understand this goofy gardener venturing out of a perfectly warm and cozy house to stomp around in the cold and mud.
"Lettuce" all have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
