catalogwinter
/ˈkætəlɒɡˌwɪntə/nounVerified NewThe winter phase in which a gardener plans, from catalogs and open tabs, a garden substantially larger than any they will plant.
December's plan has three beds, a greenhouse, and a root cellar; March's execution has one bed and some pots. Catalogwinter is the garden's true high season, spent entirely indoors. Its harvest is hypothetical and its pleasure real.
Etym. — catalog + winter — a season defined not by weather but by what arrives in the mail. Five syllables, kept for the seasonal precision.
Rel. — seedmorgue
