We have paired down our garden considerable from last year as it was more than we could manage at this point, and David's come to the realization he doesn't really like gardening so it's more of a one person task. That's not to say he isn't a big help with tilling and some larger tasks, but the daily maintenance just doesn't bring him the pleasure and joy as it does me.
For now we have plans to grow the following (obviously things might/will mostly likely change):
Tomatoes
Hot/Sweet peppers
Green Beans
Squash (summer, butternut (?), green)
Corn
Basil
Pumpkins
Onions
Brussels sprouts
Okra
Watermelon
We've added a section in the garden that we've devoted to flowers this year, hopefully including sunflowers, zinnias, tulips and anything else we think would look pretty :o)
Some things on the TO DO LIST are:
-Add additional supports to trellises
-Move berry plants (raspberries and blackberries) out of the tilled garden area
Uhhhh, there has to be more to this list but nothing else is coming to mind at this point.
For now seeds have been started in our basement as we did last year and they're doing great. What worked out really well without me realizing it was my mom and me planted the seeds one day before I went into labor! Perfect timing!

| Instead of transplanting the plants into larger containers halfway thru I just put them in the larger cups in hopes they'll make it all the way in those containers until being moved out to the garden. |
