This winter will end eventually. VFR flying conditions will again return. Private pilot students will start being able to fly (and pay CFIs).

And the earth will also thaw, and plants will again begin to grow. In the meantime, I lust over this seed catalogue in front of me and all the tasty wonders it promises I can have growing just out my back door.

Things that have me particularly excited this year:
-Prescott Fond Blanc melons- "The flavor is very rich if picked at perfection, and the fragrance is heavenly"
-Turkish Orange eggplant- "very sweet and flavorful flesh. It imparts a strong, rich flavor to any dish" and are as bright red as a ripe tomato.

and this year I may try okra for the first time.


Anyone else who gardens care to share their hopes and aspirations for the coming spring and summer?
