Hello Spring.... are you here?

2014: A new year and another chance at a great garden. I am hoping to keep better track blogging our garden this season. I can't make any promises with our newest addition Vincent, but I will try. It's a great resource to look at for: when to start plants, what varieties we loved/hated, pests to control, and what to do or not do next year. For example we started our eggplant, peppers, and tomatoes way too early last year. Our tomatoes were ridiculously leggy and had to be re-potted twice! Our pepper not only had flowers but actual baby peppers on them. Lesson learned. Do not start plants too early, especially when we our having a super cold snowy spring.

Onions, Broccoli, Cabbage, Lettuce, Spinach

What is even cooler this year for starting plants is our new mudroom/laundry room. Chris converted part of our farmers porch into a new space for our home. Crazily we started it in Sept/October (after doing a new roof) and Vincent came early (Nov 23). It's not finished, but the floor is tiled, washer/dryer are moved in, and the plant stand is in it's new home (next to the washer).

Can't wait for Spring!
