Winter as a Time to Grow

One way to enjoy gardening during the winter is to invest in some auto-didacting, or self-learning, about how to become a better grower and gardener.  Recall what worked in last year's garden and what didn't.  Ask yourself what vegetable would you like to try to grow for the first time, what tool would have made a job easier, and what pests would you like to better control.  The Internet offers an endless supply of articles, blogs, podcasts, and free books on gardening and homesteading.
