In the Garden This Week | January 25, 2010 {Week 4}

In the Garden This Week is my weekly garden planning feature. My goal for this weekly post is to stay on track with planning the work that needs to be done to prepare for and maintain a garden this week.

I'll also review the previous week's goals and let you know what I accomplished.

Last Week's Goals

:: Make a final list of what I'm planting this year and begin garden planting calendar.

Well, this goal ended up being harder to meet than I had hoped, mostly because my Burpee seed & plant catalog came last week. 

Oh my!  So many choices, so many thoughts, so many ideas.  I love seed catalogs!

I'm pretty certain of what I intend to plant this year:

Tomatoes
Green/Red/Banana/Hot Peppers
Onions
Carrots
Lettuce (Butter, Iceburg, Romaine)
Radishes
Beets
Potatoes
Sweet Potatoes
Pumpkins (small sugar variety)
Cucumbers
Zukes + Squash
Eggplant
Peas
Beans (Several varieties)
Herbs
Strawberries
Blueberries
Raspberries
Blackberries

If I opt to order live plants, they'll ship in early March for my zone.  That gives me a good idea of when I'll need to have the garden beds ready to go (mid-late March).

My goals this week:

:: Finalize order list (and stay within a reasonable budget!)

:: Find good raised bed building plans online for my hubs

:: Begin garden calendar

:: Clean up yard (we've got several branches down from the winter winds).

I'll be back next week to share my progress! ;-)
