The Garden Catalog

At the first of the year, I excitedly check the mail each day.
I know that those seed catalogs I ordered are on their way.

I grab pen and sticky notes and start making a plan.
How much of my yard is this year's garden going to span.

The hope, excitement and possibilities run wild through my mind.
I think there are over 200 types of tomatoes do I order one of each kind?

All pictures and descriptions there isn't one that I don't read.
When planning a garden how does one distinguish a want from a need?

The seeds are decided on and the anticipation is great.
Now comes the hard part as I once again have to wait.
