New Year’s bells have been rung
Christmas decorations boxed up
Red and green disappear from stores
Seed packets promise spring
Winter weather now reigns supreme
Temptations abound to rush time
Gardens still under snow
The secrets of life are secure
Disturbing them would be a crime
Patience, key on cold days
Our planting will just have to wait
A dream and a plan will suffice
The temp and time must cynic
Success will depend on them both
Try to enjoy the sweet respite
Reflect on the harvest
Embrace the joy of past labor
There’ll be plenty of time to work.
