My work schedule happily coincides with gardening season. I teach, so I am off from the end of May through the beginning of September which is about all the gardening season there is here in WI. Once school starts I have very little time in the garden.
I do start lots of plants from seed, starting in February. This year close to 2000, mostly annuals and vegetables under lights. I think less next year - that was a lot of watering to keep up with!
