Mmmm. Gardening.

Not my actual garden, but a girl can dream, right?

I am feeling the urge to get my hands in some dirt. February is the month (I almost made it) that I finally let myself start thinking about my garden plans for the spring; otherwise, it would consume all of my thoughts all winter long.

I always try to get heirloom seeds and save seeds each year from my peppers and squash (because they’re the easiest to save). Heirloom varieties are tried and true. I don’t like my veggies to have any freaky hybrid or genetically modified characteristics. Plus, how sweet is it to think about how many tables and mouths the heirloom veggies have reached?!

 

Here’s what’s getting it’s grow on in the 2013 Homegrown Garden:

• Sweet potatoes, obviously.
• Tomatoes
• Cherry tomatoes
• Zucchini
• Yellow crooked neck squash
• Butternut squash
• Cucumbers
• Bell peppers
• Jalapeno peppers
• Banana peppers
• Bush beans
• Green beans
• Sugar snap peas
• Spinach
• Kale
• Rhubarb
• Silver queen corn
• Garlic
• Sweet basil
• Rosemary
• Chives
