This year I have more pots and containers, and my first 2 raised beds are waiting to be set up! Since the soil in my small yard is poor I'm going to be strategic and plant things into the ground where some of my pots have been sitting killing off the grass, using compost to make small mounds there to plant into. I have potatoes chitting in the cupboard as we speak. I planted a walking onion start from Paul back in Sept. and in spring we'll see if it took.
So far this year I intend to plant: Potatoes, raddishes, lettuce, spinich, favas, mini-white pumpkins, a lemon seed, 3 types of peppers, and watermelon. Additionally I have Irish clover seeds which are super old but which I'm going to try and establish to start reseeding and hopefully take over my yard along with the mint I planted in the corner last year, I hate the grass and want it to go bye-bye, my landlord won't let me kill it off, but maybe with some clandestine behaviours it can gradually disappear. I'll have to make sure any patches of clover or other things are blocked off from the lawnmower because the yard person shows up each week
I also want to continue to get better at facilitating compost creation. For perenials I have my Italian plum tree (whom I'm hoping will give me first fruit this year), my 2 ornamental plum trees and my maple (all of which are starting year 2 of their lives), my blueberry plant, and my new daphne plant!
