Seed Catalogs

Have you started to get your catalogs in the mail?

I have and I don't know what to do!!  There are so many lovely things to grow that I want almost everything.

How do you make up your mind what you will plant?

I know they say in the beginning of your garden journey you should plant what you love to eat.  I can agree with that, and it's what I did this year, 2013.

Next year, I have made some sketches, ( if you could call my chicken scratch sketches) of the additions I am making to the yard for new spots to grow things.  I will be able to get quite a few more things in with the trough Dear Darling made for me, and the gutter garden, and the hugel bed.  Plus I have amended two of the planters in the back where I have iris and columbine planted so that I can add more things in with them come the spring.

I am definitely doing Kale, as it did well for me this year.  Plus cherry tomatoes.  I am planning o have Dill and chives, oh and sunflowers.  Blueberries, strawberries, green beans, yellow beans, peas, about 6 different kinds of lettuce.

See where I'm going?

Then add in to that mix, all these catalogs....... sigh.....
