I own and rock people’s faces off teaching ballroom dancing at Dancers Studio in St. Paul, MN. My husband and I compete professionally in American style and wrangle eight children in our spare time. I’ve been teaching and competing in ballroom dancing for over 25 years and have lots of opinions on it. I am an expert by any means, but there are quite a few dancers who are better than me and I have a solid knowledge of basic technique, so suck it.

The Garden of Good (and Barely Any Evil) : 2013

It's spring, technically, so in spite of the looming snowstorm, I'm planning my garden. 

It's totally a mental preparation at this point: taking stock of what vegetable the ladies mention liking/actually eating, checking out Pinterest gardening boards, admiring seed displays in the stores, etc.

More tomatoes (that fruit at different times), more flowers, more snap peas, less pumpkins, was the zucchini worth it, will my herbs actually grow this year, maybe I'll get those pavers for between the beds…

Do you have a garden?  What are you growing?  Have you started seeds already?  Do you buy plants instead?  Is it okay that I'm excited about canning already?
