Planning a Garden!

Wow! What a start to the spring year. Now is the time to plan a garden for this year.

When February and March rolled around we would sit down and create a footprint of what we wanted in our garden, what we wanted in our food storage and where we were going to plant it. And we calculated how much money it would take for plants and black plastic, but now living here in this house with no yard to speak of and the free ability for all the neighbors to walk across my yard, as they do. I now have to rely on the generosity and kindness of some of our neighbors to allow me to plant on their land. I can’t wait until we can buy our own land!

Plan Garden has some interesting information on planning your garden if you are not sure what to do (http://www.plangarden.com/?pgref=9036). It does cost to use this service.

The next thing to do is to replenish your seeds supply. Purchase new seeds for planting or pull seeds that you saved from last year. Look at the times when you need to plant or start them indoors.
