They're coming. One by one, they're coming

Seed catalogues!!!!!!!! As the good musician Paul Thorn would say: Thank you Jesus, Praise the Lord-only he says it with waaay more bluesy flair than I could.

I get so excited to come home and find a new catalogue. We're expanding the garden this year-starting a more heavily filled herb section. I practically drool over everything. As always, husband has to remind me to keep it practical. Where I would plant a thousand herbs and vegetables only to lose nine hundred and fifty because I'm unable to manage them all-he'd be happy with just four very well tended plants. We'll meet somewhere in the middle and be very happy in the long run.

I have a list of must-have staples we've agreed upon. But I know there's always a little wiggle. This year, my goal is to grow watermelon. Big. Juicy. Sweet and crisp watermelon.
