craaappp. oh well. I have fennel, basil, salad mix, and dill seeds
to plant. i have space in my house and a grow light for getting
tomatoes/peppers etc. started indoors. i also have two packs of
delicious butter-and-sugar corn seeds that I want to plant this
year, so if the planning of beds could include space for that i
would be really happy. I'm thinking it might go good in the long
bed that was beans and peppers last year?
hopefully this year will be much, much better for summer and winter
squashes.
I would be delighted to help Nina with the planting plan, I have
some ideas on where we can put things based on where we had planted
things last year -- how we can "rotate the crops", maybe too how we
can do more complimentary plantings like marigolds with tomatoes and
beans with squash and corn. we definitely need to plant fewer
squash plants that are spaced further apart this year, i think. we
can plant other things in between, but the squash mounds need to
give the vines plenty of space so they can "breathe", and mound it
nice and high so the roots will stay warm and dry. I think that is
one of the mistakes we made last year -- mounds not big enough and
too close together.
we did so well with tomatoes and peppers last year, and also the
bokchoy and other greens were amazing, so let's definitely do those
all again. the radishes were a huge favorite too. And this year
we'll be getting going early enough to put in suger snap peas, with
are sooo good!
I want to help however I can with the bees, I love bees a lot and
have been wanting to build a beehive for a long time. I can help
research what kind we should order and from where. I know that if
we're going to do it, we need to order them soon. It will be so fun
to get a roaring box of bees in the mail!
love, andrea
