This coming weekend, we are planning a trip to our local Hardware Store. They have an abundance of heirloom and organic seed varieties for planting.
We are planning to do something different this year for our gardens. I am planning on digging out the Perennial Plants from the front flower garden and filling it with herbs. We have been looking at planting the flowering herbs such as Calendula, Echinacea and Lavender for the front beds - maybe add some varieties of Basil. Our Oregano and Mint are well established in the beds at the back of the house so I am happy to leave them where they are. The front of the house has that gorgeous sun from the South and everything seems to thrive with little maintenance.
I purchased balcony planters last Fall when they went on sale and am planning to see actually how many vegetables that I can grow on my back deck this year - aka Container Planting. This is a first for us, but we have many hours of sun hitting on the deck which should provide an abundance of produce that we can preserve through the winter months of 2012/2013.
