Planning all ready!

Anyone else planning for next years gardens? After reading the threads here and seeing pictures, I missed out on alot of veggies. Like sweet potatoes for instance, we eat alot of them but never dawned on me to grow them. So, I have been making a list of all the seeds I need- doesn't hurt to plan early.

I'm with you John, I made my list and this weekend I'm going to clean out the greenhouse.

Got 3 seed catalogs in the mail today ;D

I tilled all my gardens under a few weeks ago. Gotta say that it was the first time that I ever tilled my gardens and plowed the driveway on the same day

Had some of our corn that we put up with supper tonight and it was awesome and just as sweet as when we picked it ;D The gardens will be 3 times a big next season.

Yeah we'll start getting stuff planted in the greenhouse sometime after christmas. Usually start off with tomatas so we have some to sell before July.

I've found a couple catalogs in the mailbox so far. Haven't had a chance to really look through them yet though. I'll save that for January and February when I get real stir crazy. I'd love to build a new greenhouse this spring, but I'm not sure that will happen.

planning the coming years garden is a great way to spend some of the cold winter evenings ...warm wood fire, seed catalogs ...it all sounds/looks good & I want to grow everything! But then I have to par down my order ... only 8 varities of tomatoes ...10 types of peppers ...
