How Does Your Garden Grow Neo?

Only a few more weeks until spring planting! I have been working on a planting list over the last few days. The following is what I plan to grow on my urban farm this year. I have grown nearly everything on the list before, but most will be new to my farm in East Cleveland. As you can see from the list, some of the plants will probably not produce this year or they will mature in the coming years, but this is my investment in my home and my city. My plot of land is largely a clean slate and offers exciting opportunities for learning about organic gardening.

So what are you growing? What are your favorite sources for plants and seed? What are your favorite sources for gardening information?

In the next fews weeks I plan to order plants and seeds, improve my compost bins, reorganize my garage to accommodate a planting bench, install more rain barrels, fix the fence to keep out neighborhood dogs, build a straw bale cold frame, make more paths so my family won't compact the soil, set up container gardens on my porch, buy some chicks and a hen house, get a rabbit and a rabbit hutch, build more raised beds .... acorn squash, arugula, asparagus (purple & green), strawberries, basil, beans, (green, yellow, purple, bush and pole), beets, blackberries, blueberries, broccoli, brussel sprouts, butternut squash, cabbage, carrots (several varieties), cauliflower, celery , chives, cucumbers, currants, dahlias, dill, eggplant, fennel, garlic, gourds, grapes (concord), horseradish, kale, kohlrabi, lemon grass, lettuce, leeks, marigolds, mesclun, mint, nasturtium, oregano, onions, pansies, parsley, parsnips, peas, peppers, pumpkins, radishes, red raspberries, rhubarb, rosemary, rutabagas, sage, scallop squash, shallots, spaghetti squash, sunflower, Swiss chard, tomatoes (many varieties), tomatillos, turnips, zucchini, * not enough room for corn to pollinate or to have fruit trees.
