Spring Fever


About this time of year, spring fever sets in. The cold and the snow are starting to get on everyone's nerves. Years ago I got spring fever. So I bought one little house plant. Then I bought a few more and a few more and a few more. When summer arrived, I planted a small vegetable garden. Now, years later, I have a large vegetable garden and flowers everywhere outside.

Do you have spring fever? Go out and buy yourself a house plant. Get your hands on some seed catalogs at the library or online and start ordering a few packets of alyssum or zinnia seeds. Start going to one of your local garden stores in early May and buy a tomato plant or some bean seeds or cucumber seeds. If you have just a little bit of sunny space, get bush tomato and bush beans and bush cucumbers. If you have lots of room, you can get varieties that will vine all over the place.

Yes, you might have spring fever. Luckily there is a cure. Become a gardener.
