The Garden is like the NFL

I know I haven't posted in a while, but this is the off-season for me out in the garden. But even though it is the off-season, it doesn't mean I haven't been thinking and working on next season's garden. My garden is a lot like an NFL football team. Let's call my team the Naturehouse Gardeners!

The NFL off-season for a team is spent figuring out which players and coaches are good enough to remain and which ones need to be cut. They look to add new players to better next year's team. They also look back at the season that has just ended to figure out what worked well and what didn't. All teams but one did not achieve their goal of winning the Super bowl. They try to learn from last season's disappointments so they can do better this season!

These are the things I have been doing in the past couple of months. I have been pouring over seed catalogs looking for new star players to draft! I have decided to cut some of my under-achieving vegetable varieties. I am redesigning my whole game plan. I am even planning to double this year's playing field!

I have carefully looked over last year's "touchdowns" as well as the "dropped balls", and will report some of that to you here in this blog.

Actually, I hope to start posting regularly again. Even though the NFL is currently in its Post-Season from last year, The Naturehouse Gardener's are about to begin their Pre-Season for 2007! Many players will soon report to my basement to begin their season under the grow-lights!

So as I'm watching the NFL playoffs this weekend and next, I will be mapping out the 2007 garden and figuring out what plants will occupy what spot on the field. Of course I will also be dreaming of winning the super bowl of gardening in which every vegetable grows to perfection and every flower is beautiful!

If you are reading this, chances are that you are also a gardener dreaming of a winning 2007 garden. I know it is only January, but I must ask you that famous question:

Are you ready for some Football

Gardening?!!

I sure am!
