    We will be planting Broccoli, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Onions, Garlic, Sweet Corn, Lettuce, Spinach, Cuc's, Zuchini, Peppers, Hubbard, Spaghetti and Butternut Squash. Not to mention several kinds of Tomatoes(Thinkin of you Plantoneonme fellow Michigander). I'm sure the list will get longer as the year progresses. We will have Spring, Summer and fall crops (Lord willing) and hopefully NO BLIGHTED TOMATOES THIS YEAR !!
    We will actualy have a home garden and one out at our 5 acre lot 10 miles to the South. So busy busy I will be.

    then i have to find a place to put everything on my 10 ft balcony. me thinks lots of baby plants will be given away to friends.

    I have started 2 types of broccoli, cauliflower, and celery. They are all doing well so far. I started them indoors about 3 weeks ago. Also just stated 5 different tomatos last Wed.-Paul Robeson, Sungold Select II, Big Rainbow, Green Zebra, and Pink Ponderosa. They are starting to emerge from the starter soil as we speak. It is very exciting, never grew from seeds before, so this is a learning experience unto itself.
    After it warms a bit going to do carrots, bush beans(Dragon Toungue), pole beans(?), leaf lettuce, sweet peas, cucumbers, arugala, spinach, squash, watermelon(Moon and Stars), swiss chard(bright lights), andI want to start a strawberry pyramid and a blueberry raised bed. Whew, cant wait till it warms up just a little.

    Big day in the garden yesterday! I planted 1 each:
    grapes, blueberries, raspberries and a pomegranate, 2 types of asparagus, Ozark strawberries, red potatoes, onions (red and yellow) garlic, shallots, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, several kinds of lettuce, and several varieties of herbs.

    Oh, and! transplanted all the warm weather crops into 4X4's to give them growing room.

    EXHAUSTED!!!

    I plan on doing the usual Tomato's and what-not. The biggest thing is I plan on putting 2 more beehives in the backyard this year so that will make 3 in total.

    Default I hope I can do it all!

    This year I will be planting 6 different varieties of tomatoes (yellow pear, yellow taxi, tom thumb (yellow), husky cherry, campari,and better boy), bell peppers, cukes,snow peas, zuchinni and yellow squash, carrots, yukon potatoes, 2 kinds of lettuce, 4 types of basil, rosemary, 2 kinds of thyme, 2 types of dill, cilantro, and lemon verbena. I have french sorrel, chives, english thyme, oregano, garlic, shallots, and yellow onions already up from last year. Strawberries plants are up as well. I'm trying my hand at celery from seed this year, hope to also plant broccoli, cabbage, and collards a bit later in the season. I also have a meyer lemon, murcott, and lime tree all in pots. I really want to add grapes outside but I have no idea how to handle the vining w/o an arbor - there's just no room for one. I'm thinking about blueberries as well. I'm sure I left something out but that's the jist of it. I can't wait to really get out there!
