Garden Planning

So a couple of weeks ago I started a bucket list. One of the items on the list is to have a successful garden. Is 2011 the year?

Today I'm enjoying a little patio time and writing out some plans for the yard.

We have a very sunny yard both in the front and back. We plan on doing some veggies this year and adding in some heat tolerant perennials. The climate down here is tough compared to what I grew up in. Plus our soil is all clay and sand. I have yet to see an earthworm in my yard. Very unlike my parents house in Michigan.

My mom gave me a great gardening book a couple of years ago. The pictures and plant descriptions are great.

Sidenote: This is my favorite cup! I seriously have a deep rooted love for Tervis Tumblers.

Here I am in the Salon on my Wedding Day. Yes I brought my own cup. FinalPics (238 of 680)

What are your garden plans for spring/summer/fall? Small herb pots? Climbing Morning Glories?

Anyone want to come over and help me weed and clear branches?

  2. I was just thinking and planning in my mind my garden for this year. I think this weekend the hubs and I will build a raised bed and plant lettuce and spinach. And then when it gets warmer I'm tear that out and plant tomatoes!

  3. my boyfriend wants to start a vegatable garden, but we dont have a backyard...so we'll have to do with some potted plants. we just bought seeds for herbs tho- rosemary, dill, mint and basil (my fave). can't wait to see how it all turns out! btw so funny about the cups! my mom is obsessed with them! she bought me a bee set for my birthday last year and its my fave. xoxo jcd :: cornflake dreams

  7. Every year I hope to start an herb garden, because I spend too much money buying fresh herbs at the grocery store. Maybe you'll provide some inspiration for me!

  8. As for you my dear....2 words. Raised beds. Happy gardening. A shovel, a cute gardening apron, and sheer determination should do it.
