Hiding from Winter - Thinking about Spring

Seed catalogues are well worn - and am about 75% there as far as my ordering goes. Each year I say I'm not going to order as many seeds, and somehow, once I've opened up the last padded envelope of seeds, my package tally usually comes in at about 65.

Perhaps it's because it looks like this outside when I'm ordering and it's so easy to forget there are hundreds of perennials underneath all that white stuff just waiting for spring. This is the view from the dining room window today - a good day to stay inside. I'm tackling the Stokes, Park, William Dam and Johnny's seed catalogues today. So keen on getting the light table fired up and all the little plants started!
