what's the 411

So, does anybody know how to start planting onions and potatoes under all this snow? I heard that we were supposed to get them in the ground last week! It's not like we have the shortest growing season in the world, but we're a close second. I always get so frustrated with it all. I put in all this time to till,(thanks Jason), to weed, and to plant, and I don't get much return for my investment. Granted, we chose to leave town at a crucial time last year, and didn't get the weeds taken care of. Then when we got back they were too crazy to deal with properly, so we just had a enormous weed crop! Why do they always have ample time to grow to maturity and my vegetables don't? Dumb weeds!
O.k., onto a lighter note, Kaden and Mckay are both playing soccer again this year. You know, it's funny but we usually let them both play every other year. I get so frustrated with them not wanting to play one year, that I make them skip the next. Then when the year after that arrives, I forget how aggravating it truly was, and sign them up again! Why do we put ourselves in these kinds of situations, and then keep on repeating them over and over again??!! Oh, well, I guess we're exposing them to a lot of different options in life. Who knows, after a while maybe something will stick.
