Where we live, it is time (okay, about a week late) to start planting things indoors so they are ready to be replanted when we thaw out. We did this last year with our broccoli and cherry tomatoes but they never made it outside. Our broccoli completely died and our tomatoes grew pretty well (surprisingly) inside. This was probably because last winter, we had our house set at 55 degrees and it was too cold for the vegetables but with a baby this year, we've had to bump it up.
In addition to the baby increase, we also bought an indoor greenhouse (only ten dollars at Menards when it was on sale). Hopefully between these two things, our garden has a fighting chance this year. We've also been composting our egg shells and banana peels, which are best for the soil (depending on what you're growing).
We have lots of seeds to plant this year and we are hoping to actually have fruits and vegetables this year so we can buy less produce at the store. It is a lot of work and you need to upkeep it every day but I think it is do-able.
Hopefully we find time this weekend to do our indoor plants!
