Although my gardens are currently sleeping peacefully under a blanket of snow…

You know I’m already working on big plans for the next season. I’ve already placed a big seed order and it’s already arrived.

In the veg beds, I’m sticking close to what I did last year with snap peas, bush beans, carrots, and cucumbers. I’m going to try to grow some broccoli and leafy greens (spinach and lettuce) as well.

But when it comes to tomatoes, I took your guys advice.

I ordered seeds for yellow cherry tomatoes, to help Dave with the acid issue he has with tomatoes. I don’t normally start my tomatoes from seed, but this will at least keep me from ending up with Roma tomatoes when I was expecting grape tomatoes!

And for my squash, I’m going to try this beauty

It’s called Celebration squash. I had one at Christmas and it was incredibly flavourful. I’m hoping the ones I grow will be just as good!

I also splurged a little on this…

It’s a “Squash Tunnel” and like my old ladder, it’s used to grow squash vertically to save space. But I’m going to keep my squash on my ladder.

On the tunnel I plan to grow…

Baby pumpkins!

And Cucamelons!

But it’s not just veg. Plenty of flower seeds came along for the ride too.

Most are annuals, and I’m debating whether they will go here and there about the existing beds… or whether I want to build a dedicated “Cutting Garden”

Well.. it’s still January so I’ve got at least a few more weeks to make a final decision…
