New Mistakes

John Hammond: Don't worry, I'm not making the same mistakes again.
Dr. Ian Malcolm:No, you're making all new ones.

That was from the movie, Jurassic Park II. Not a great movie, but I love the quote. And I'm quite sure it will apply to this years veggie garden. . .

And with that in mind, I'm working on planning this years veggie garden. Here is the list of what I'm currently thinking of planting:

Spring
  • beets
  • carrots
  • scallions
  • onions
  • celery
  • lettuce
  • spinach
  • radishes
  • kohlrabi
  • peas
  • turnips
  • potatoes
Summer
  • beans
  • cucumbers
  • watermelon
  • cantaloupe
  • summer squash
  • winter squash
  • tomatoes
  • sweet peppers
  • hot peppers
  • sweet potatoes
  • tomatillos
Fall
  • beets
  • carrots
  • scallions
  • onions
  • lettuce
  • spinach
  • radishes
  • kohlrabi
  • peas
  • turnips
  • broccoli
  • cauliflower
  • Brussels sprouts
  • garlic
Herbs (annual)
  • parsley
  • cilantro
  • dill
  • basil
Yikes, that's a big list! There is no way it will all fit in the square foot garden beds. The summer squash has to go somewhere else. The sweet potatoes may have to as well. And the annual herbs may have to go in the bed with the perennial herbs.

I may find there are some things that just won't fit. (Can I dig up the front lawn?)
