Garden 2012

It's almost Spring and I'm starting to think about my garden plan for this year. Here's what I'm thinking:


Since some plants are better companions for one another (which essentially means some plants are better together and there are some that you really shouldn't put side by side), I need to look into my gardening handbook to check that my plan is okay. Even if I have to move things around, I'm pretty happy with my choices overall.

The new things are the green bush beans and pumpkins. Exciting! I decided not to do zucchini or cucumbers this year but will probably bring them back next year.

Oh, the thought of green plants and flowers growing outside makes me happy! I look forward to planting and watering and checking on them before and after going to work...and even weeding!

  3. Yay NJM! I want you to come see it! Are you going to do a raised bed again at your new house?

    Dave...I can't wait for you to help me pick the fresh veggies. You're a pro!

  4. Hey Love... yes we are thinking of a raised garden... not quite as high as the last one but something where i can still at the edge and our super kid could come and stand by while we pick the new growth... I think it would be a great way to teach him about nature. And I'm sure he'll have playing in the mud!
    I've got to figure out what I want to make and also look at my recipe books and figure out what spices I use often and make sure I dry lots this summer... I'm pumped for this project and excited to eat it, as last summer I was pregnant and not at ALL interested in eating fresh veggies... it would make me gag.
