Tracy & I have been planning for three weeks now. Planning what crops, varieties, succession plantings, how much we’ll need, companion planting, crop rotations, what goes in the perennial “forest garden” area, and all that. Tracy has used her spreadsheet mastery to come up with a calculator to help us figure out how many plants in so many row feet may yield so many pounds. It is a bit mind boggling at times, but we’re getting it!

It is very exciting to do this and every day of nice weather I’m wishing I could be working in the garden. But that will come soon enough and I’m sure, after a long hard summer, I’ll be looking forward to the break that fall and winter will provide.
