The Unexpected? April 12 Snowstorm          

I could say that a Spring snowstorm is unexpected here in New England, but it isn't!  Thus, when I had cleaned out and prepared a couple of the raised beds, and then made my garden plan, I expected that I would be planting them in a couple of days!  Wrong!  On April 12, we received about 1/2" of snow!  

Basically, I retreated to the warm, cozy kitchen and with a cup of hot tea, I satisfied my gardening urge by perusing the garden seed catalogs and sorting through the seeds I had already purchased.  

It seemed like the only sensible thing to do!
