garden fantasies when it’s cold…

…and it is so very cold! Here it is December and I’m going to have to come clean: I’ve been fantasizing about the garden. How is it possible not to? For updates: I had a great crop of strawberries, zucchini (of course), pumpkin (three left, still), butternut squash (thirteen total), peppers, and several of the others did as best as they could, considering the wet early start everyone got which made for shallow roots and thus, thirsty plants the rest of the summer.

Here’s some of my fantasizes at hand: mini citrus trees, blueberries, melons. In terms of the citrus, I’ve heard they make ones for us midwesterners which I could keep like a houseplant in the winter and haul it outdoors during the summer.  But where oh where does one find such a thing?
