In between a lot of bong hits, I get seedlings started and plan my next garden scheme.

I paint the rooms inside my house and other various indoor projects. I also plan out diagrams for landscape and hardscape projects and start acquiring some of the product. It makes springtime chores much more efficient.

OP-
I feel your pain. Northern MN here.....and I haven't figured out yet how not to go crazy. Although it helps a bit to shovel...a lot...and swear....a lot....while shoveling

Just in the last week I've started stamping down little trails to my various gardens, and making more trails around where I want to put in new gardens in the spring. Basically wandering around my yard looking like a snowy idiot- I think the neighbors are starting to talk

Those sadistic pricks at the nursery places have started sending out their full color catalogs and it's not helping! I have lists, lists, and more lists of things that would "ooooohhhhh, look just great in that spot!". hmmmm

I've also spent some time this winter watching my house plants die....again. If it's in the ground, I can make it grow...in a pot? not so much.

good luck!

Aren't they sort of expensive? I remember seeing a fan palm in a big pot at a garden center sold for around $200. A lot of big palms and other seem to be bought mainly by businesses for areas on display, like shopping malls.

What do you guys do.
I live in California. I was close to 70 degrees today. A bit chilly, so I brought a jacket out, just in case it dipped into the low 60's.
