Plottings of Muddy Proportions

Haa Haa it's SPRING!!! Dirt dirt dirt....Big plans like i do every year but this, year is different. I have to do this for us to eat.
  • 2 kinds of tomatoes, brandywine and Roma
  • zucchini
  • peppers, jalapeno, different bells, and banana
  • herbs, lots of them! sage,chives,oregano,basil,thyme,rosemary
  • lavender
  • leaf lettuce
  • 2 kinds of peas, Oregon sugar pod, and early sweet?
  • watermelon,sugar baby (small ones)
  • cantaloupe
  • pumpkin, small pie pumpkins
  • marigolds
  • nasturtiums
  • flower vines, several kinds
  • corn
  • green beans, tendergreen (bush)
  • broccoli
  • megs sunflowers of course
  • larkspur
  • catnip
  • strawberries, everbearing-8-10 roots
  • going to get cucumber, ? carrots, stargazer lilies, and much much more
An old co--worker and friend is going to till the grounds. In the meantime, i have a lot of seeds started in the house to be ready to go. Della, however, twice has attacked and scattered the lavender & all the peppers seeds. i have a plan to fix her wagon. The front yard is being rearranged and dug up for flowers and maybe a peony bush. Matt is going to till a strip down the back of the house so i don't have to try and kill grass or make raised beds. This is not just to make it pretty and me happy. It will keep grass down and away from the underpinning. There is plans for bulbs around air conditioner as well to make it easier to tend the yard without having to go around it and the wires from the pole that are right next to it. I want bird feeders but the yard is treeless so i am scratching my head for the simplest and most economical way to go about it. I am off to plan out plots.
