I know that it is warm...somewhere else.

Another day of cold, winter weather.  As an Albertan, I really should be used to this, Winter happens every year, that is a given fact.  So why am I amazed everytime I hear the weather forecast of a HIGH of -21C.  That isn't a high, that is just a joke!  Whine, whine, whine!

Last night I started my spring planning.  I took pen in hand and went through my Richters and T & T Seeds cataloques.  The dreaming stage has begun.  Some of the goodies that I circled were :


Lemon Balm  Melissa officinalis (Ordered Dry Leaves on Jan.27, 2011)

Lime Balm

Now, if I order from T&T Seeds in Manitoba before Feb. 15, 2011,  I get 10% of my total price.  My next paycheque will come just before the deadline.  And the pay after that will be plants from Richters.  Wow...am I organized or what??
