Gardening looks good..

I have the midwinter gardening itch..that time of the year when I look at the plot of land I've chosen to plant my next veggie garden and start making grandiose plans. The hard work of digging and turning the soil and adding compost and all that stuff just seems like no work at all..in my mind. The gardening book I have on my coffee table is like a siren, calling me to make lists and plans and stuff.

This could also be chalked up to the $5.00 cauliflower I bought today. Holy crap. $5.00 for a cauliflower? And $2.50 for a bunch of spinach? I'm going to have to grow my own veggies if I want to continue to eat them, at this rate. The guy at the produce store said it was because there was a frost in California, and it hit the lettuce, spinach, asparagus and other veggies. The price of asparagus was as high as $10 a pound!! And still some people bought it. Yikes.

What did I do with that pricey cauliflower? I made cauliflower and cheddar cheese soup. Very yummy..better be good for that price, LOL. I'm going to make lasagna with a spinach cottage cheese filling using the fresh spinach.

I have a shift in ICU tomorrow, so I'd better go make my lunch. Then off to bed to dream of neat rows of lovely green vegetables!
