Garden Plan
Well today is my
first day posting in Bloggers new format....and I must say I don't care for it
one bit. I like to think that I respond relatively well to technological
changes, but this I am not loving. I am sure that once I play around a bit I will
get use to it; however it just feels a lot less user friendly. Case and point I
have just spend 2 hours trying to get my garden plan to upload to this post and
let’s just say I don't think it is going to work. This
is disappointing since I spent all that time typing it out! I even
tried uploading the document to Google documents, but it won’t display properly
either....oh boy this has been a great way to waste a day...lol
So here we go again.... this year I am planting my garden east/west instead of north/south in hopes to
just change things up a bit and see if I can get a bit more in. In addition I
think this will result in a lot less wasted veggies. Hopefully...lol
I am planning on
making 10x10 plots with in the garden. I will be able to get 3 plots in widthwise
and 9 lengthwise...I think. So the plots will go lengthwise 1 4 7 10 13 16 19 22. then 2 5 8 11 14 17 20 23 then 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 I hope that makes sense! It wont even let me use the tab button to put things into groups........so I am sure none of this makes sense!
Plot 1
onions-pickling
Plot 2 onion
sets-white
Plot 3 onion sets-
red, Leeks
Plot 4 Spinach, pak choi, broccoli
Plot 5 Cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli
Plot 6 Brussels Sprouts, spinach,
pak choi
Plot 7 Potatoes-
Plot 8 potatoes=russet
Plot 9 sweet
potatoes
Plot 11 Kohlrabi
Plot 12 Parsnips/turnips
plot 13
carrots
Plot 14 peas
Plot
16 lettuce,rashishes
plot 15 g beans, broad beans, edamame, eggplant
Plot 17 Tomatoes
Plot 18 lettuce
Plot 19 Tomato
Plot 20 tomato
Plot 21 tomato
plot 23 spaghetti Squash
plot 24 pumpkin/butternutt
I am also going to
have 2 raises herb gardens at the edge of the garden followed by raspberries
and strawberries. Plot one will start right next to the strawberries.
So there you go not
as pretty as I had wanted it to be and a lot more confusing and it has now wrecked my day....lol. If anyone thinks something is out of
place or that I should move something around let me know.
Take care
I agree that the new format is NOT as user friendly. I've been trying it out for a couple of days and have to search for everything! Frustrating!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is going to be wonderful! I have been extending my flower bed around the patio (which meant putting in a retaining wall on the slope), but the temperatures the last 3 days have been 90 F. !!! I have plants in pots ready to put in the ground that are wilting despite daily watering. I hope this doesn't mean we're in for another 100+ summer!
I am still on the old format...wonder how long that will last??
ReplyDeleteYour garden sounds great..and yes it all made sense.
I spent the afternoon out in the back yard cleaning up. I still have bits of snow in the back yard though! The tulips are just peeking out.
Wow you have 2400 sqft of gardening space. That is so huge. I guess I'm used to my tiny plots.
ReplyDeleteWow that is a lot of planting. I used to have a largish veg plot when my kids were small but I now only grow a few things. Otherwise I have too much waste. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of your garden as it gets going:)
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the new format...afraid to...lol. Hope they leave me alone with the old one..
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing your garden grow! One day I'd live to have a small one. I have a lot to learn first.
ReplyDeleteCan you please come plan my garden!!! Please!
ReplyDeleteOh, you have your work cut out for you! Can't wait to see grown pics! I think Tomato plants are pretty when they are bursting with fruit! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the new format and don't plan to.
ReplyDeleteBoy, you definitely have one huge garden! I think you are going to be very very busy!!
