Planning, planning, planning

Since we still have about a foot of snow on the ground (and more on the way...) the only gardening to do right now is planning and starting seeds. We're being ambitious with the number of plants we have this year, and we're also having our children start their own gardens. I'm excited about the variety of plants, and hope that we can lay everything out so that it fits.

This year we're going to try growing:

The start of the garden! Broccoli, cauliflower and onions.

True lavender
Snowball cauliflower
Waltham 29 broccoli
Beefsteak tomato
Green pepper - Yolo wonder
Early jalapeno pepper
Valencia onion
Red cherry tomato
Sweet italian basil
Black beauty zucchini
Yellow crookneck squash
Marketmore 76 cucumber
Cherry belle radish
Spinach - bloomsdale
Hollow crown parsnip
Sugar snap pea
Carrot - Imperator 58
Romaine, crisphead and buttercrunch lettuce
Golden bantam corn
Green beans
Brussels sprouts - Long island

In the past we've only done a few types of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, carrots, beans, broccoli and zucchini, so this is a big change for us.
