January is the month for planning this year's changes in my Midwest garden. It's the time I love to sit by the fire with a pile of garden catalogs and a highlighter pen. Catalogs are very good informational sources. By ordering seeds early, you can be sure to get the varieties you want, as they sometimes sell out. It's also time to begin moving pots of bulbs I have planted for forcing out of my basement and into sunny windows. The main outdoor job is keeping the snow brushed off the evergreens. Some of my gardening New Year's resolutions are to bring in more flowers for bouquets, to renew labels of named varieties in the perennial border and to try different tactics in keeping the rabbits away from the vegetables.
