Spring Garden Plans

[farmertrappe]

I got my first seed catalog from Guernsey last week. I study it while, well lets just say I'm multi-tasking. Anyone else starting to make plans for the spring garden. I'm not sure what I will try to pull off, too damn busy to make a real good effort. But I will do something even if its on a small scale.

I will probably do alot of cabbage again this year. I did 60 head last year, which yields about 1 quart of sauerkraut per head.

With the leftover space I will likely do green beans, tomatoes, green peppers, and jalepenos. Pickled green beans and canned salsa go over well in my house...

I'm going with a Venison Stew garden again this year. I'm growing tomatoes, onion, carrots, and trying to grow celery for the first time too. I'm not going with the potato box this year though. And as always sweet corn and pumpkins. I love corn on the cob and gotta have corn stalks and Jack-o-lanterns for Halloween!

As a side project, I'm building new compost bins. I'm thinking about putting in some raspberries? I do like raspberries...

Brad how did the Kraut turn out? I remember you putting it up but can't think if i saw a update or taste test.

I have been growing lots of rocks. I am getting very good at it and in fact have seeds for sell or trade.
Actually I have removed enough rock to fill the hole with 30 yards of top soil so we can try to grow veggies this year. I will grow summer squashes, tomatoes, okra, kale, and maybe some beets and swiss chard.

Haven't even thought about the garden yet.

It gets better every year! It seriously is so good you can eat it straight out of the jar.
