Its kinda lame but I LOVE this day of the year - I love the silly news reports on the groundhog seeing or not seeing his shadow and I always love watching the Bill Murray classic Groundhog Day!!Link to the Groundhog Day movie wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundhog_Day_(film)

This year, I am hoping for an early winter - but as I live in Alberta Canada, that probably won't happen. You see, I am trying to plan for my veggie garden already and an early spring would help!! Especially since my husband promised that as soon as all of the snow has melted that he will help me build my garden bed boxes... 8ft long x 3 ft wide x 1 ft tall... I have enough wood for three of them and I bought an 8 ft long piece of lattice so I can grow some lovely peas!!I'm planning on growing potatoes, carrots, peas, tomatoes, onions (both green and cooking ones), strawberries, cucumbers, squash, zucchini. I'm going to put in a small herb garden in some smaller planter boxes. I am also going to try to grow some pumpkins - not the huge ones you see at Halloween - the small ones you cook with. I might even try and plant a raspberry bush...
I think this year is going to be the year I get my act together and finally do all the things I want to do... OK, stop laughing!! I AM going to TRY... lol
