Garden Planning

Winter is a frustrating time for advid gardeners however, now is the perfect time to start making a plan for when fair weather returns. I am starting with seeds. Last year, I kept mine in a small recipe box. Well, have branched out into 2 more boxes this year:


This year, I am going to plant:

Tomatoes
Cucubmers
Pumpkins
Peppers (of varing shapes and sizes)
Onions
Celery
Carrots

Now, that I have a plan, I have to test the seeds....

    Sounds like a good plan :)

    I have started my kids in doing some indoors gardening of some herbs, etc...
    I am SO ready for winter to be done and yet, we have MONTHS to go. UGH

    It's always so neat to see how your garden grows!

    I wish that I could tend a garden but I have a black thumb, lol! We had garden boxes in our backyard from the previous owner of the house when we moved in but I just let them get all weedy. I had hopes of a beautiful garden but I didn't have the patience to deal with the upkeep. Hopefully that will change as the kids get older. Organizing seeds is a great start!

    Great plan.
    Now do you have a huge vegetable garden....how much of your yard to you use? Do the kids stay out of it.
    Gino used to do a garden at our old house..but he thinks the kids will play in it..i think it's just an excuse...

    I wish I had the yield from a garden without doing the work!

    ya! Sounds well prepared. The warmth will be there soon, always sooner than it appears once it is here.

    I really need to create a plan for my garden this year. It was a disaster last year.

    Can't wait to see how to test seeds. We're trying the lasagna gardening technique this year and can't wait to see how it turns out. I'm really hoping the raised bed will give us the depth for the carrots. Got my new Johnny's Seed booklet in the mail and want those yellow carrots!!!
