Around the Corner

Its just around the corner and my household is very busy planning the gardens for this year. Since we have 5 total gardens this is a huge undertaking. I have requests for more tomatoes so that will be a major planting perhaps taking up the better half of at least one garden. Last year we planted 37 tomato plants and that wasn't nearly enough to get us through the winter season so this year we may double that. A lot of work but well worth our efforts when all is said and done.

My family loves to garden and with each new seed catalog arriving even my 6 year old is perusing the catalog asking about various veggies and whether or not she likes them.

We also have to triple the broccoli planting this year. Last year I planted 12 plants and they yielded very very well but I have a request for 36 plants this year. Guess we all know where I will be in the spring and summer months.

I am looking forward to a great season, once the snow has left the ground! At present we still have 3 feet of snow over the garden. Thus I will be starting our seedlings inside in the next few weeks and giving them a great head start.

Happy planning your garden!
