Well it has been a busy couple of weeks with Christmas, New Years,  The Quilting Secrets Blog hop that I hosted and finally yesterday was the In Your Words hop. I think I need a few wobbly pops and some time with my feet up relaxing in front of the TV..lol

I really feel like I have really neglected my gardening side for a while. It’s just so hard to get into the gardening spirit when the garden is covered in snow!!

I am going to be starting a few of my seeds next month...maybe so I figured I better starting planning!

For the most part I am going to keep the garden the same. I think I am finally at that point where I know what I need for a successful growing season in my mind and now I just need to fine tune it...maybe...lol

This is my list of what I am going to be planting..It may change but this is what I would like to grow (#of days till maturity)

Broad Beans- Broad Windsor (65days) - I grew these last year and they were Lovely!!

Edamame- Besweet (85days) - I tried these last year and they didn’t have time to ripen. I will start indoors

Beet-Detroit red (60) my favourite beet

Beet- Touchstone Gold (55) Last year was the first time I grew these and fell in love!

Broccoli- Goliath Hybrid (76) not sure if I will start indoors or not. Last year the seedlings and direct sown matured at the same time.

Brussels Sprouts- Catskill Improved (76) Last year these didn’t produce, going to start them a month earlier indoors and see what happens

Cabbage- Stonehead (67) - very successful in 2012. Will plant more for sauerkraut this year

Pak Choi- will try again since I love it, but looking for new variety

Cantaloupes- Earlisweet hybrid (68) I will make room for these this year as they always get left out

Carrots- Rainbow Hybrid (70) loved the look and taste of these last year so they will be my only carrot this year

Cauliflower- Snow Crown Hybrid (48) always a success

Cucumbers- National pickling (54) my only choice when it comes to cucumbers so yummy

Eggplant- Epic Hybrid (61) Will try again they grew well but the early frost took them out

Kohlrabi- Early White Vienna (55) last year wasn’t a good year for kohlrabi, but I will try again

Leeks- Large Musselburg (90) I haven’t had a successful year growing leeks yet, but I am trying again! Will start indoors again

Lettuce- Bon Vivant (30) my favourite go to lettuce

Onions- sets red/white (110) since we ran out of onions within a month plant more next year

Peas- Little Marvel (65) my favourite, might try another variety

Peppers- Not sure which ones yet

Potato- Norland (90) last year they were a success where the others failed so it will be my only potato this year

Radish- Easter Egg Blend (25) my favourite

Spinach- Tyee Hybrid (42) another favourite

Butternut Squash (82) these didn’t take last year. Will start indoors this year

Squash-Spaghetti (70) frost took them in 2012 will try again this year

Tomato- Roma- Not sure which variety of roma, depends on what the greenhouse is selling

Tomato- early girl loved having fresh tomaotes though out the whole summer

Tomato-cherry last years plants were "unkown" but yummy

Zucchini- Black beauty (60) always a success

That is my list so far. I am still toying with whether or not to plant pumpkins and sweet potatoes, but for the most part I think the above list is set in stone.

Have a great day
