perhaps one of the reasons that i don't make new year's resolutions is b/c i make a thousand everysingleday that i can't make myself follow through with,so i find the idea of it to be a practice in futility.
but,either way,i made one this year,in my head,to myself- "to get more things done." and even though,i really do plenty(more than some,not as much as others.) updating this more frequently,was a big part of that. clearly i have proven my theory correct b/c i thought that maybe telling myself that it was my resolution would motivate me...nope. besides the fact that it is the dead of winter,i can't make myself DO anything.
yesterday, we sat down and made a list of potential garden-ideas for the spring,since we're determined to have this year's be better than last. or,at least, less hurried. last year's was fine,but now we've learned a little about what's good out here,ect. so now we know that 9 tomato plants are not an adequate number if we want to freeze even close to enough sauce-base to last us through,even november.
anyhow,we want to do so much more than last year. we definitely want to put things like zucchini and pumpkins in areas other than the front garden area,since they just TOOK OVER the entire left(north?)side of the garden...
new things to plant this year are: kale,collards,chard,cabbage,brussel sprouts(ew,for jake,not me),celery,mustard greens, parsnips,onions,scallions,leeks,chickpeas,peas,cantaloupe,chervil,bay,horseradish,fennel,tarragon,chives,mints, and catnip that we won't let ed sleep on and kill.
definitely want to try eggplant again,as nothing happened last year...and we know it was more us,than 'it'.
i want to check again, but,if i remember right,there's not enough of a growing season to do artichokes,which i am totally in love with. so,i guess they'll have to wait until i can invest the thousands of dollars that i have just sitting around,in a greenhouse...
