Does your garden get a New Years Resolution (revolution)? What will it be? Will you “go organic” this year? Maybe you can try a new vegetable or herb. Most of our garden is being transformed into raised beds. This is a monumental task; but it is a good one for the winter.
There are two spots in the garden where things were growing before the process was started. They will have to wait until summertime. There is not enough scrap lumber now anyway.
Another major goal is finishing a book on gardening that is in process. There are 23 pages written so far. There will eventually be about 150 pages of text, 50 pages of pictures and an awesome bibliography. The working name is “The Incomplete Garden Book”. That name was chosen; because even though many books profess to tell you everything you need to know, that is just not true. The book may get another name before it becomes “complete”.
There are two other goals of a more minor nature. An application has been sent in for the “Master Gardener Program”. Also there are some new herbs and vegetables that look attractive. Yarrow, fennel and cowslip are the herbs. Fennel is a fall-planted one. Several new types of winter squash will be the vegetables.
