My Plan

An important part of gardening, especially for those of us growing as much as we can from seed, is planning. So every year about this time, I make my plan, go through my seed packets, order new seeds, and develop a schedule.  So here is this year's plan.  This year I ordered seeds online for the first time from Jung.

At my Dad's house
Raised Bed #1:  cucumbers (mostly for my Dad as I plan to grow my own cucumbers at my house as well)
Raised Bed #2:  6 tomato plants with basil and a section of pole beans
Raised Bed #3:  broccoli, brussel sprouts, hot peppers, eggplant, and raddishes

At my house:
Pots:
4-6 topsy turvey pots:  1 sweet pepper, 1-2 hot pepper, 2-3 tomatoes (roma and oregon spring)
Vegetables in pots on the ground: hot peppers, collard greens, lettuce, spinach, potatos, basil
Pots on top of trellis arch so vine plants can hang down:  cucumbers, zucchini, acorn squash
Flowers in pots on the ground:  marigolds, impatiens, chamomile, convolvulus
Window Box on garage:  impatiens

Front yard by evergreen:
Already planted:  mums, various spring bulbs
To be planted:  coleus, bunny tails, convent garden, forest fire, collard greens, and spinach

Back yard:
Raised Bed #1:  spring bulbs (already planted), daisies, lillies
Raised Bed #2:  lavendar, coreopsis, columbine, delphinium
Along back of house (may wait a year depending on budget/time):  hellabore, turtlehead?, gooseneck loostrife?
Back by old maple:  hostas (already planted), ferns
