Buying.. and planning.

So I pretty much have all of my seeds!! I'm still on the hunt for.. Rosemary, Normal Mint & Potato seeds ( good for my region ) But..

Today I bought:

• Crimison Giant Champion Radish

Now I'm going to do the tedious part - planning.

Planning where they are going to go.. planning who goes next to who.. or against the wall etc..etc.. Not my favorite part of gardening but definity an important part!

I think i'm going to dip into the potato land too.. bought a "potato tub" now I'm going to go to my local garden store and ask them ...what the heck I'm doing.

It begins...

So last year was my very first time gardening... anything! and I did rather well. Everything grew.. some things were not quite..usable ( ie.. Tomatoes and peppers) but it was a good learning experience!

Last year I also did gardening "outside the box" and did things in pots... Aka container gardening. It kept a lot of the common problems ( bugs, weeds, soil issues) non existant for me but created some problems like some plants were rootbound, could only grow certain varieties, cost & limited space for so many pots.

So this year I wanted to solve some of my issues and keep the things I avoided... A type of gardening was suggested to me.. Square foot gardening or SFQ for short.

Wiki's definition is " a strong focus on composting, closely planted raised beds with clearly defined areas. Well suited for begining gardeners and people with disabilities"

I bought the book.. I'm reading it... and I'm itching to start this new adventure of gardening!
