The ground's still frozen, the garden's napping under a blanket of white, but guess what? You can trick Mother Nature into giving you a sneak peek of spring... right in your living room!

As we hunker down with our hot cocoa and fuzzy socks this January, our indoor green buddies are feeling the winter blues too.

January might be snowy with the upcoming storm, but our gardening brains are already blooming with ideas for spring. If you're anything like me, you've got seed catalogs piling up, tempting you with pictures of veggies that look too perfect to be real.

Right now is prime time for mulching those perennial and bulb beds – think of it as wrapping your plants in a cozy winter comforter before the really wild temperature swings hit.
