Garden planning time!

It's gray and dark and cold ... it's time to plan the garden for spring!

Jeff got me seeds as a present - I had marked some I wanted in a catalog and he bought them for me. This year, we're expanding the garden, plus adding a cutting garden so I can have flowers to bring inside, too. We have here:

Veggies:

• Goldberger purslane
• Space spinach
• Cimmaron lettuce
• Green deer's tongue lettuce
• Rose orach
• Pink lipstick Swiss chard
• Orange fantasia Swiss chard
• Radish mix
• Rose heart daikon radish
• Sugar lace peas
• Yellow currant tomato
• Red currant tomato
• Tumbling Tom red tomato
• Lemon cucumber
• Pot luck cucumber
• Kaleidoscope pepper mix
• Mohican eggplant
• Pineapple tomatillo

Flowers:

• Mexican hats
• Pumpkin pepper
• Large snapdragon
• Persian carpet zinnia
• Floristan sunflower
• Rainbow aster mix
  
• Tall climbing nasturtium
• Tall strawflower mix
  

Yeah, that's a lot.

But some of the stuff is very early, like the lettuces, radishes and other greens. They can be replaced after it warms up with tomatoes or cucumbers or something else. And some of the veggies can be container-grown on the patio or even in the front of the house.

Some of the flowers are going to be in a specific bed in the back garden, but I think I'll spread them around a bit, too, just to brighten the place up. Since we finally killed the ground cover on the hill on my side of the front yard, there'll be plenty of space for these annuals while I figure out what I want there permanently.

I can't wait for spring!
