Garden Plans 2013

Folks, this is going to be a BIG YEAR for our garden. My brother, Matt, and I are going in together to expand our garden (he and his girlfriend are moving in together to an apartment and they are foodies like me).  Here is my little plot of vegetables from last year:

This year, we are multiplying this by six.  I have already started planning what to do with our six plots of fun!

I printed it off and taped it together so I can write in what I want in each square.  I am using companion planting guides I have found online and trying to rework my planting.

On the list this year:

• A crap ton of tomatoes.  I loved canning tomatoes last year to use in recipes and this year, I want a stockpile.
• Sweet Peppers: Red, yellow, orange and green.  I now know to chop and freeze if I don't think I am going to be using them right away.
• Banana peppers and jalapenos
• Pumpkin and zucchini
• Lettuce (hoping for several kinds)
• Green beans
• A few eggplants (now that my family realized they love eggplants)
• And I still need to look at what else we want.

Oh, and these are my new garden boots from Target!

And our new compost bin!  I can't wait to show you guys where I have it tucked away!
