Happy New Year!

I love that the new year brings all the seed catalogs right to your door!

I spent the day yesterday going through the ones I've gotten and just finished placing all my orders! I don't think J has realized just how much we are getting delivered this Spring! I know he will put a ban on garden center visits once he finds out. The goal for the flower beds is to get them to be 100% perennial beds so that the only annuals I have to worry about each year are in containers.

The vegetables for the year are:

Tomatoes
  • Big Mama Romas
  • Salsa
  • White Cherry
  • Early Girl
  • Brandy Boy
  • Black Krim Heirloom
  • Tye Dye
  • 4th of July
  • Heritage
  • Orange Slice
  • Sunny Boy
  • Pink Pounder
Peppers
  • Great Stuff Green Bell
  • Bananarama
  • Golden Bell
  • Red Delicious
  • Costa Rican Sweet
  • Godfather Sweet
  • Hot Fish Heirloom
  • Hot Zavory
  • Giant Sweet
  • Hot Pablano
  • Jalapeno
  • Hot Salsa
  • Hot Tabasco
Sugar Snap Peas
Italian Rose Beans
Bush Beans
Soy Beans
Pumpkins - Specialty Colors
Gourds - Snake and 2 types of Birdhouse gourds
Hops - Nugget

I will also be getting some squash, cucumbers, and melon.

I'm currently trying to figure out how best to trellis the hops and gourds. I've found some great tee-pee ideas and there are some really cool geodesic dome ideas too.
