You did very well! <br /><br />@ MrsW: I did only pots on my deck for a couple years when Grace was a baby - it's surprising how much you can grow like that! I even did cucumbers in a big, deep pot with a trellis stuck in the middle! Got lots of smallish, but delicious, cukes that year!ChristineMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02851502547567088841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901604164076150644.post-80520335600259996922010-02-20T16:29:18.436-05:002010-02-20T16:29:18.436-05:00@Thamesarino - This year I'm starting quite a ...@Thamesarino - This year I'm starting quite a few plants from seed - we got hit with a horrible blight last year - all thanks to storebought plants (fungus spores in the dirt they were potted in), so I'm doing as many as I can from seed! I'll be starting my trays in a couple weeks. Some things do better being planted straight into the ground - root veggies, cucumbers and squashes. I dug out my old "square foot gardening" book and I think I can fit everything in! ;)ChristineMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02851502547567088841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901604164076150644.post-5594231440090853002010-02-20T13:56:12.088-05:002010-02-20T13:56:12.088-05:00LOL...looks like you went a little seed crazy!

My plot is similar in size (8x12) and we over did it with 6 tomato plants, 6 cucumbers, 6 zucchini, a row of corn, 3 watermelon, 3 cantelope, 12 varieties of peppers and a couple of rows of carrots. The melons didn't make it except for 1 cantalope, and neither did the corn. We had a few peppers but by far the most successful were the tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots and a few zucchini. Oh what to plant this year...that is the question.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01169693305157071792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901604164076150644.post-44455795015527953582010-02-20T10:52:09.628-05:002010-02-20T10:52:09.628-05:00As I type there are still mounds and mounds of sno...As I type there are still mounds and mounds of snow on the STREETS that are taller than me. We got hit with so much snow this year. This post just made me incredibly twitchy(in a good way)! I LOVE browsing through the seed catalogs!! You know you actually have a pretty big space for your garden. I think that you can fit that all in there! : )<br />My sister and I once did a garden in 12X12 inch plots(because we had NO SPACE, maybe a 2X6 foot strip garden) and we were able to get an amazing amout of produce from it. It took a bunch of planning(I know there are books about it out there, maybe called square foot gardening?) ...but it was truly amazing! We even managed to get corn in there!! :) (ok not a lot of corn but we had 2 close rows and got enough to have it with a few dinners) <br />I am so jealous of your spread of seeds, they look so inticing.. I am absolutely NOT going to follow that link to the catalog... my marriage has just been getting better! ;)<br />Do you start your seeds indoors? ... or wait until the weather permits? just curious... I love to lose myself in gardening, but know that this year I will probably be to occupied with my new little one to give my garden the love and attention it needs.:(<br />So maybe this year I can live vicariously through you? I hope you'll post LOTS of pictures!! :)thamesarinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982297941396651473noreply@blogger.com
