I am a SAD firghter too! I have a ton of seeds that I bought last year and never worked with. We have to build raised beds with protection on the bottom from digging critters. Sigh. I was so darn disappointed last year. I just wanted to give up on homesteading stuff completely! But with the raised beds, it should help. But I am really going to focus on flowers this year, while doing veggies on the side, I think.
