When I was in 7^th grade, Mr. Weldon the principle used to tell this old saw about time going by faster and faster with each passing year.  It didn’t seem like it back then but looking at the calendar today, I think I know what Mr. Weldon meant.  It’s February 11 and Christmas was seven weeks ago.  Eight weeks from now, I might be planting some frost-hardy things like peas, spinach, and kale.  Applying the “Mr. Weldon principle”, I’ll be planting things sooner than I think.

Tick Tock.

When I get back from the Winter Market today, I’m going to start working on the Hampton Victory Garden list to determine who is returning to the garden and how many vacant garden plots are available to new gardeners.  Since January, I’ve received four inquiries from hopeful gardeners.  This is the earliest I’ve ever gotten requests.  I wonder why that is?  Could it be that more and more people realize “time is marching on” and it’s time to start growing their own food?

Are you making any lists today?
