Flowerjen,
My only plan of action is getting a catalog in the mail, poring over the pictures and content, and with glazed over eyes, ordering everything I can get my hands on. Many times I can be seen wandering around looking for a garden spot, or frantically tilling a garden area, after finding the perfect spot!
I do read, read, and read some more. Also, I have been pretty good at caring for the plants, doing what needs to be done at the right time of the season. I always print copies of the plant, instructions for caring for the plant, along with a picture. Maybe this winter I'll actually organize all these papers.
Right now, I'm looking at four, 5 gallon buckets full of dried zinnia flowers. I think that translates to about 50,000 zinnia seeds. My husband thinks we've put all the gardens to bed for the winter. Hmmm, maybe I can till an acre, top it with lots of compost and leaves, and plant an acre of zinnias next spring!
