Garden Plans
Hello, yes, yes, I'm still alive.
I need to jot down what's been in my garden before I 100% forget. XD
In 2018, I built some raised beds in our newly renovated backyard. I ordered a bunch of seeds in a hurry. I also grabbed a few things from the garden centre, and here's what all I planted:
I meant to plant pole beans and got all confused when they didn't climb the poles. XD Oops. Also I overloaded the beds a bit and everything went wild. The carrots were buried and never even came up.
In 2019 I scaled things back a bit:
Everything had a bit more room, but the tomatoes still went everywhere. The carrots were planted after the peas were taken out, and ever really got going. The pole beans were very slow to start; I don't think that variety was ideal for our climate. I replanted the squash varieties that did well in 2018 and they did well again in 2019.
The plan for 2020 is to scale back to ONE tomato plant (I might even start something from seed to get an interesting variety), plant the same squash, plant the rest of the bush beans I have left since they did pretty well, and stick another cucumber in.

In 2018, I built some raised beds in our newly renovated backyard. I ordered a bunch of seeds in a hurry. I also grabbed a few things from the garden centre, and here's what all I planted:
- Super Sugar Snap peas
- Provider beans (bush variety)
- A collection of four squash varieties: Endeavor (green zucchini), Golden Delight (yellow zucchini), Sunburst (patty pan), and Magda (cousa-type summer squash)
- Neptune carrots
- Black cherry tomatoes
- Tiny yellow cherry tomatoes (don't remember variety)
- Sweet Millions cherry tomatoes
- Random cucumber
