seed catalogs arriving daily. So are you planning to try anything different in your garden next year?

Haven't decided yet, probably not. I have stuff I wanted to try last year, and didn't really get my garden going. So, I'll probably just do this year what I'd planned to do last year.

I'm planning to revamp my garden plans this year. I am cutting back on the tomatoes and will plant more things that store longer like cabbages and root crops.

Hopefully I can get into a routine and actually harvest and eat what I grow this year. With all the nonsense this year with my dh's children I didn't get to enjoy much of my garden produce. Sad

I am hoping to add another raised bed to the set up this season and to make at least one screen cloche. Basically a removable hoop house covered with netting sized to put over the raised bed and keep those darned chickens and cabbage loopers out. We shall see.

I need to make a screen for my beds too, I lost all my cabbage to the loopers again this year. Sad

I tried to sic the Kid on my loopers and it actually worked to a degree. I let him "collect" those cute little green caterpillars in his bug barn. Laughing

I think I'm going to splurge and buy a Bay Laurel plant this year, I'm tired of buying bay leaves at the store.

Will they grow in your zone? I was thinking that they need warmer temps in winter?

I'm not sure but if I put in a pot then I can always bring it inside for the winter.

Good idea! I have a lime tree that comes in for the winter here. Of course I do get a bit of complaining when it comes time to move the pot each year. Laughing

I am redoing the drainage and have added wood chip mulch to over winter with. Step one towards reducing weeds and increasing yields.

Just keep piling on those wood chips and you will have a very fertile garden patch.

I still have some of my monster pile in the driveway. I probably have enough to finish the flower garden area.

Even if we lived closer I would rent one. We have so much it could wear yours out!
