Yesterday morning was spent removing last summer's old, dead weeds from my strawberry patch. There is more work to do. I am looking forward to not doing this next year.
Today I have some time off to begin planning my garden plot. A few weeks ago, I created a spreadsheet in Excel that I can reprint any time I need it and draw out my plan to scale. I need to decide what to plant, where to plant it, and what to start early. I've been saving the plastic boxes from berries and salads to start my seeds. I think it will work well because the clear plastic covers will help to keep heat and moisture inside and get the germination process going. I have a lot of research saved about companion plantings, so I will use that information to decide what goes where in the garden. Last year, I planted potatoes for the first time and wasn't bothered at all by potato bugs, because I planted a marigold between all of the potato plants.
I also need to do some calling around to find a good hay source...
