I am SO excited that we get to have a garden again this year! We have not had one for the last 3 years because of my husband’s coaching schedule and then because of moving to our new house. This year, I told my husband that I want a garden NO MATTER WHAT! And luckily, he agreed!

We have talked about what we are going to plant and even the perennials we would like to start. We are planting corn, tomatoes, okra, green peppers, cucumbers and radishes in the garden. We are planning to start strawberries, asparagus and possibly garlic as perennials. Maybe I’ll be able to talk him into blue or blackberry bushes also! We have decided to plant all seedlings instead of any seeds with the exception of radishes. We usually do better with plants.

I always get super excited about gardening and want to start before it is time. I am setting a date for us to use as our deadline though. I am giving us until March 29th to have the garden tilled and prepared. If my husband still says it’s too early to plant, that’s fine, but the garden MUST be ready by then!!
