Time to Plan Your Spring Garden

It is already that time again!!!!   Time to start planning what your going to do this year - spring garden, summer garden, fall garden, enough to can and freeze, just enough to cook a lot and share, only enough to experiment with your black thumb?????

The Spring Garden must to planted in February......so are you going to do it?

I am going to continue my garden which is big enough to freeze and can lots of surplus.  I am going to do this in 6 beds that are each 8x8.  But I am also going to help Ashleigh with her garden that is only going to be big enough along her fence to have food to cook (she is a cooking enthusiast) and give some away.  I am also going to help Deanna with her first garden mostly in pots and hanging baskets.  So here is the plan for Spring starting in February going three different ways:

                                     Bree (Me)                              Ashleigh                         Deanna (the first timer)
Cabbage                         5                                                2                                       none
Carrots                       1 pack of seeds                       2 small rows                           none
Lettuce                     1 pack of spring mix spread out over 5x2       fill 1 pot of spring mix for the patio
Peas                         1 pack                                        1/2 pack                                 none
White Potatoes            15-18 plants                             4-6                                        none
Radishes                      8                                                5
Spinach           5 plants if I can find them or 1 pack       3 plants                          1 smaller pot for patio


Start planning and get digging before the third week of February.  Pictures to follow!!!!
