2014 Garden Plans

[RoseOfGrace]

Has anyone else started planning their garden for this year? We greatly expanded our garden last year to 9 raised beds (12'x4'), plus our herb garden (which is our backyard landscape). I'm still deciding on what exactly to plant this year and in what quantities. But, we will probably do more tomatoes (cherry and roma), carrots, lettuce, potatoes, sweet potatoes, a couple varieties of squash, okra, cucumbers, maybe pumpkin (my son's request), maybe beans (still have lots of low growing bush variety from last year, but may switch to pole beans this year), maybe peas (have extras from last year), peppers. Oh, and the strawberry plants we planted last year should be performing well this year - hopefully! I'm super excited about the strawberries! I'm also planning to grow a variety of herbs. We need to tear out most of our herb garden due to a terrible infestation of morning glories. So, I'm undecided what we will get planted there. I'd like to grow basil, dill, parsley, sage (my sage is spreading like a weed! lol), mint, rosemary, and maybe lavendar and a couple others.

Oh, and sunflowers! We planted 12 sunflowers last year, but due to storms and squirrels, only got to harvest about 3 of them. But, they were delicious and so pretty! I'll definitely be planting these again.
