My small garden space is never large enough for everything I wasnt to plant. So this year I did what the catalogs tell you to do, and I sketched out my garden space. Granted, I didn't measure and plot it out, but just having a plan in place made such a difference. We'll see how things go this year, but I've already got a few ideas on how I can modify things a little next year.
All seeds are now in the ground. The brussel sprouts and snow peas didn't go in early enough so I don't know if we'll get anything other than plants from them or not. Hoping to fertilize them this week.
I also tried something new this year by planting my peas that climb between corn plants. That cut down on the amount of corn planted but increased the peas. We'll see how it turns out!
On my to do list this week is to figure out a watering system so I don't have to stand outside with a hosepipe for 30-40 minutes every night that it doesn't rain. I have two ideas. Fingers crossed that they work!
