With spring on its way (sometime soon, hopefully), I've been pondering ideas for the veggie gardens. What about you? What are you hoping to grow this year? Share you plans!
I'd like to focus more on the fruit orchard so I'm scaling back on the veggies- just some corn, pumpkins, and bottle gourds. Hubby can have the bulk of the space for his canning veggies and cooking herbs. I also like to grow some flowers in pots on the back porch so I can watch for butterflies and hummingbirds. Last year I tried strawberries in pots, but the resident chipmunks ended up getting to the fruit before I did!
My orchard is still pretty young and I haven't gotten much fruit from it so far, but it's also a big job that I haven't given myself sufficient time to focus on yet. My hope is that with some extra TLC this year (in terms of regular spraying and fertilizing) I can encourage more trees to start producing fruit. Fingers crossed, at least.
