Here's the plan.








It’s time to try our hand at a garden once again. I’ve decided to sketch out a plan for my garden every year. This is a helpful practice because you have to make sure to rotate your crops. This is done in order to prevent disease from spreading and dormant bugs from waking up and infesting your plants. So there is definitely some thought that has to be put into it. It’s a wonderful end-of-winter project and the perfect way to get really excited about spring and being outside again. Chris and I got ourselves fired up about the changing of the seasons when we were showing pictures of last year's garden to an old friend. Everything was so green, which is quite different from the weather now. The sun hasn’t shown itself in over a week and everything is dry and crispy. You look outside right now and think “I’m never going to see the sun again.” Then all of a sudden the seasons change and there you are, out in the heat, eating a great big salad made with only vegetables that you grew. It's pretty neat.
