Looking Ahead

My growing season is coming to an end. I moved the herbs inside last week, and early this morning, freezing rain claimed the last of my peppers. Aside from some frost-hardy swiss chard, my garden is closed for the year. I'll miss it.

After

But saying goodbye to this year's crops has me looking ahead to next year's garden more than ever. Right now, I'm planning for tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, brussel sprouts, eggplants, herbs, blueberries, strawberries, hot peppers, bell peppers, summer squash, winter squash, and an asian pear tree.

Feel free to laugh at my naivety. I know this list is ridiculously ambitious given my space and skill limitations, but I don't care. This year, I'm thinking big.
