This is a journal of my vegetable gardens. Skippy was my first dog and he thought the garden was his, even though I did all the work. Now Suzie and Charley follow in his footsteps. We're located near Boston (USDA zone 6A). I have a community plot, a backyard vegetable garden, fruit trees, berry bushes, chickens, and bees. I use sustainable organic methods and do my best to grow all of my family's vegetables myself.
peas planted!

organizing last year's seeds
I got out my seed basket, spread out all the seeds, stacked them by the type of vegetable, and then wrapped the little stacks with rubber bands. The basket is all organized and ready to go now.
My first seed order arrived yesterday and I added these to the basket. I'll be setting up my lights and starting up a few seeds soon.
I love the basket! So cute. I re-purposed a picture box, the kind with a lid and a little slot for a label in the front.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to see my favorite gardening bloggers getting ready for the next growing season!
ReplyDeleteI didn't grow much last year (mostly tomatoes and herbs) but I've got big plans for this year! I had a date with the Seed Savers Exchange catalog last night :)

You've provided the inspiration I needed to start by deciding what I want to harvest/plant and then learn what I have BEFORE I place seed orders! Thank you! I've been planning a lot of new things and reviewing some old successes & failures. Can hardly wait to spread it all out this weekend and put together my orders... and there are always orderS, never just an ordeR ; )
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Thanks for your inspiring blog.
ReplyDeleteOh, how lovely! I'm in the middle of doing the same!
ReplyDeleteHave a great new gardening year 2011!

Hi, new follower. I love your site. I'm so glad to see the garden planning post. I really need to get mine started in the "new" house. I missed a year. A year with no garden was sad. Thanks!

Organizing seeds from previous years is on my to-do list for this evening. Then on to possibly ordering more. Your system for it looks easy.
ReplyDeleteYou're making me feel bad - my own seed packs are stuffed into 3 shoeboxes and I really need to organize them.. thanks for the inspiration! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your blog - great info and beautiful photographs..
