First we tested our soil. PH is just slightly alkaline, nitrogen is low, phosphorous is just right, and potash is non-existent.
Next we procured an enormous pile of seeds. All the usual stuff: tomatoes, peppers, squash, beans, broccoli, peas, cucumbers, etc.
Next we plotted our garden. What will go where, in what quantities, paying attention to what was there last year. Drawing is to scale as this is a household with an engineer.
Now if only.....
Good luck with the garden. We have been feeling the same way. In fact after I posted about how nice the weather was here and we spent time out in the garden it snowed a lot on Monday. It seems like the only thing we can plan on doing well year after year is crookneck squash. Which I am not a huge fan of. Last year I would groan when I went out and more and more kept growing.
