Hello Everyone!
Ok Green thumbs, have you been putting any thought into your gardens yet this year? Where I live we are still sitting under 2-3 feet of snow. However, even though it won't be warm enough to plant as soon as the snow melts everyone will be out buying up all the starter plants, seed and other gardening items.
This year I'm thinking a bit ahead and I'm looking to get the seed early and I may start some of the longer term plants indoors first.
So my question for you this week, What are you planning to do with your garden? It could be flowers, vegetables, landscaping, etc.
As some of you may be aware, I only enjoy growing plants I can eat. In my opinion, there is nothing more satisfying in the middle of the summer months than making a side salad that consists only of items grown in the garden.
To that end, here is what I'm thinking about for this year:
- Romaine Lettuce (My wife and I tried it last year and had really good success with it)
- Beefsteak Tomatoes (Last year I tried cherry tomatoes and it didn't go well, but my beefsteak ones always have in the past)
- Green Onion (This will be new this year, I like the flavour so I thought it's worth a try)
- Radishes, Carrots, Cucumber (These are my staples. They always work out well!)
Ok, you've heard what my plans are for this year's salad. How about you? Let me know in the comments below!
Have a great rest of the week!
