How does my garden Grow?

How Does Your Garden Grow???

What is your gardening style?  Organic or "chemical" fertilizers and pest control?  Organic ~ definitely!

What planting method do you use?  Square foot, raised beds, traditional single rows, wide rows, intensive plantings, containers, a little of all these???  Wide rows for the veggies, intensive for the herbs.

Do you plan out your garden in detail, or just get out there and plant?  I definitely have a plan ~ have the herb garden one done already, but still need to do the veggie one.

What do you grow?  Veggies, Fruits, Herbs, Flowers....EVERYTHING!?  I grow it all, but less so the flowers, we do have a flower garden, but I prefer the "producing" plants.

What do you do with your harvests?  Eat it all right away, share with friends and family, preserve for the coming months, sell it at the farmers market?  We share with others, preserve mostly jams, jellies and such, but I am getting a pressure canner this year, so hopefully much more and the plan is for a little farmers market stuff this year (we'll see)

What is one thing that you definitely will not grow this year?  UGH, i wish I could say, but I am planting spinach and brussel sprouts ONE LAST TIME...but if they don't come up, that's it, Im done (for real this time)

What is one "must have" for your garden this year?  Basil ~ with it being so wet least year we hardly got enough for 1 meal of it.
