Planning Your Garden

I don't know about you, but as soon as March hits, my mind shifts towards gardening. And if I'm honest, I may or may not have planted a small garden already in February, covering it with a hoop house. Has anything germinated and grown? We're not gonna talk about that mkay? Ahem.

Planning a garden can be as simple or fancy as you want it to be. I tend to keep things pretty basic - it's not my nature to be fancy. This year, I am reflecting on what I grew last year, what we ate a lot of, and what we didn't. We grew so much lettuce and spinach last year that I was giving it away in gallon ziplocks for weeks! This year, I want to try planting greens in succession so that I have a longer harvest into the fall. We aren't a big onion or tomato family, so I will also be modifying the amount of space I dedicate to those things.

But here are the things I know for sure I'm going to be growing:

Strawberries, garlic, potatoes, lettuce, spinach, green beans, sugar snap peas, carrots, pumpkins, rosemary, cilantro, oregano, basil, raspberries, and small amounts of tomatoes and onions. 

And how am I going to keep track of everything I'm growing? With garden markers from my shop!

I designed and made these garden markers last year, and they have been a hit with my gardening friends! They're made of acrylic, which allows them to be used year after year. All they need after a season in the dirt is a quick rinse and dry, and you can store them for next year's garden.
