This year I finally received the harvest from my garden I've been waiting for. Nothing huge, but very encouraging. All it took was moving the garden to a sunny location. Oh, that and engineering a fence to keep the dog and all other usual garden pests out. I might be getting in my garden groove.
So I've spent time the past several days planning and drawing a garden for 2014. Digging a new bed to the east of our house. Gathering long sticks for the pole beans. Paying attention to seed varieties. Planting a winter cover crop. I am very excited!
Just today I ran across
this inspiring blog! Wow, to have a garden that provides us with most of our meals. Meals of plates full of colorful, tasty veggies. My dream ... and a very achievable dream if I continue to put all this planning into action.
On the list for 2014 garden: tomatoes, peppers, peas, green beans, pickling cucumbers, zucchini, winter squash, lettuce, spinach, beets, herbs and maybe other greens.
