“I’ll bet you can just cover up those carrots for a bit in February, and they’ll do just fine.”
I need to look at the envelope and see when their mature time is. I’ve never grown them so I don’t know. I know I started the seeds in July and planted the plants sometime in mid to late August.
I did get a notebook and a plastic file folder with several divisions in it. I’ve been using a thin paper folder and it’s coming to pieces. I’ll start tomorrow listing seeds I already have to plant, in the new notebook and the ones I ordered are on the way.
I did get sorta messed up today when my special friend called and said "Happy Valentines Day" because she had sent me something, and I thought maybe I had overslept and missed Dec and Jan. ;)

I really had some trouble with organizational stuff for the garden initially. I started out with a composition notebook that I was writing stuff in. Lost it. It hasn’t surfaced yet.
Then I went to 3 ring binder - soon I had several that were full of stuff, that needed to be reorganized, so I did that. Now I can’t really remember which one is which, so I need to put a better index in it, but it’s quicker to just do a web search right now.LOL
Now, I have 2 things that I put into a spread sheet - a seed list and garden plots.
The seed list has a list of the seeds I have, and the year purchased or grown. A list of the seeds to consider purchasing for the next year. All seeds are kept in a coffee can in the back of the refrigerator.
A list of plants grown in each bed for the spring, summer, fall and winter for each year is the other spread sheet.
I had to put these on the computer, because I just kept misplacing them for some reason. Now when they vanish, I don’t have to waste time hunting for them, since I can find them on the computer.
This probably helps to knock a few points off my Blood Pressure by lowering the frustration level.
I just purchased a 5 shelf bookcase that is 6 foot tall. I’ll have it in the kitchen for a few cookbooks, garden books, and canning and preserving books, and first aid books.
That should help me be able to get it all organized and together. Right now it’s just stored wherever I happened to have a little space. It used to be ok, because I usually knew where I decided to stash it. Now I don’t always remember, so the best thing is to put it all together.
I’ll have to totally rearrange my kitchen snack area to make room for the book case. Hoping to get that done this weekend too.
