Got two 4'×8' plots almost ready to go. First I observed the sunlight around my property to see where the optimal spot to plant would be. Next I plotted out two 4'×8' beds in that area and removed the sod. I transplanted the sod to an area of the yard that needed it instead of tilling it under. I then layed some broken down cardboard boxes and lots of water. I haven't gotten the wood to make my raised beds yet or the dirt for that matter but my compost pile has been doing well and I will work it into the soil when I do get it.

I've been messing around in my garden for years but it's been mostly hit and miss. This year I want to get serious. There will be a number of challenges to overcome. I've got a small amount of space to work with. I've got ___ square feet that is currently a mix of flowers, herbs and tomatoes. I'd like to convert it to a raised bed and shift it mostly to food production. I would like to start the transition to no till gardening. An additional challenge will be doing this in a drought and with city water restrictions enforced. I guess I could narrow my focus to growing food in drought conditions.

I moved to our retreat property full time in January. I have finally gotten the time to start the annual vegetable garden in mid-March. I had to fence the area to keep out the deer. Then I took and a-frame level and marked the contour lines within the area fenced. This week I have started the first woody-bed which is 3 feet wide by 40 feet long. I removed the sod, dug down 18 inches through beautiful topsoil and placed large logs in the bottom of the bed. The sod goes back in the holes (upside-down) around the logs and then I replace the topsoil. 2/3 of the way done so far - hot, dirty, sweaty work but these will be permenant garden beds that will never see a tiller. Shoudl have the first bed done by Thursday, rain coming Fri/Sat then planting will commence next week.

SunnyCottageHomestead — In Progress
I will learn everything I can about gardening. We are going to focus on a combination of permaculture (need to watch the videos) and square food (raised bed) gardening. We have ordered a bunch of heirloom seeds but we need to order more to complete our collection. Our goal is to have everything we would need in seeds if SHTF scenario were to ensue. Also we will collect all of the tools we will need. Gardening will actual start once strategic relocation has occurred but there is much preparation to be done before that happens. Progress: 01/03/2013: have ordered many heirloom seeds to have for our seed bank, have purchased square foot gardening book, have begun studying various gardening materials, have begun investigating what gardening tools and implements we will need

Front Garden: During the Spring, I will turn the front garden into a bee friendly environment. This will be achieved by the planting of flowers / plants / shrubs in all borders. Plants are to be chosen in conjunction with the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, although the resulting environment will be acceptable for all bees and hover-flies. Once the work is complete, a bee-hive will be installed in the back-garden. Back Garden: After the appalling weather last summer and this winter's floods, I will review which vegetables should be sown/planted this year.

restore garden this spring. My son in law wants half, but I told him he could start with 1/4 of what is already set up (50'x4'). Thinking i should weight till the exterior has been redone, so the contractor doesn't trample all my efforts Update 2-19-13 The sun in law moved out of town for college (again)... so i guess he won't be contributing. 4-10-13 planted a few things, added fertility. pumpkins already growing strong. Planting a bit late but it's been cold in Texas.! 4-13-13 trimmed the overgrown rosemary bush. I only trimmed half to not overstress. Dehydrating a batch to see how it turns out.

Crash course in Silviculture. Managing, using, conserving, and repairing forestland. There was not an option for forestry or silvaculture, so I opted that it is REALLY a LARGE gardening project. I don't know alot about woodland management and with at least 60 acres out of 100, I need to learn this to keep the forest healthy for us, for wildlife and the ecosystem. This is something I can easily learn from the local college. I like learning new things. I need to walk with a timber cruiser and see what s/he has to say. There is lots of flora and fauna on this land and I want to make sure I don't mess up anyone's home, whether it is a mushroom or an elk. Income, firewood, lumber, wildlife refuge, added value for other ag products.

Have 3 in a topsy turvy in the kitchen.... oh and started potatoes last weekend! And also started spinach seeds. Grow as much of our own produce as we can. It will depend upon space and which grow best in containers 2/28/13 just started 36 seeds (baby carrots, scallions, tomato, 2 types of chard) all marked as good for containers. Also have some beans growing in a container already...compliments of my 4yr old daughter who asked if she could plant them about a month ago. I can already see tiny bean pods already forming. last frost here is mid April so I will be starting a few more seeds in the next couple weeks. Thinking spinach, different types of tomatoes, zucchini and some herbs (chives, basil, cilantro, lavender and rosemary) I already have a large rosemary plant..(call it a shrub at this point) growing outside but I won't be able to bring that with me so I am attempting to propagate some in containers.

Previously I have let some items go to waste from the garden but through pairing this skill with bartering, community building, pickling and dehydrating I hope to waste less.
