My gardening this year will be minimal, I think, but I will be soaking up everything I learn from your experience. <br /><br />I was just at Barnes and Noble and was sorely tempted to buy an adorable child's gardening set, with plastic tools and watering can. I might still go back and get it!

I've decided it's impossible to grow people and crops at the same time. <br /><br />If I were you, I wouldn't expect to be doing any gardening this spring. Maybe a few flowers or easy, summer-only crops.
