Growing up we had a pretty big garden in our backyard.  We planted all sorts of vegetables that we tasted straight from the vines or enjoyed at our evening meal.  With 8 children, my mom had us all digging and weeding, planting and picking.  Summer days were spent sweating and getting our hands plenty dirty in the Michigan soil.  

Spring is coming! And while it technically doesn’t start until later in March, there are signs of it popping up all over. The days are getting longer, the sun is shining more, and I hear that in parts of the country, there is some warm weather. We’re still covered in snow.
