“In the next week or so, I’m going to completely redo my kitchen office/south windows nursery. I need about 4 times the shelf area that I have now.”
Rightly and others on here are also building, moving objects, rearranging, etc.. This is my first time to see what happens on this thread from one growing season to another, but I expect this happens every year.
I have to get more potting soil mix soon as I don’t have enough. I’m also going to get food plant fertilizer stakes (I have some but not enough) to stick in the potting soil mix I used last time, after I get plants in the containers. Soil that had tomatoes in it gets used for other plants and other used plant soil gets moved into the tomato containers.
There is always something that needs to be done.

Thats true, but I have run up against an object that I cant move. Its pretty well seed starting time for me and all of a sudden I’m overwhelmed with stuff to do. At least the weather is sunny.
I may start my seeds without having my seed incubator(refer to my FR homepage) assembled yet. I hate to break my routine, but if I want to stay on schedule(for once) I need to do it.
I have two modes. Make plans and never act on them, or make plans and get stupid about doing them.
I've fallen to the second option. Apparently, it's now the next week or so.
Table moved out, real computer desk cleared of military memorabilia and move into the office area, everything is moved around and there is much more room.
I've got to scrounge materials to make the shelves, but I have temporary shelves up and have doubled the shelf space so far.
No time like the present, I guess. Catz HATE change. ;)
This also has the affect of making the house more human friendly for reasons I don't need to go into.

I am always looking for more space for storage and growing plants indoors too. Our daughter gave us a 4 foot grow light when she moved, so we are trying to find a space where we can use it.
One dream I have is to replace my kitchen and laundry room window upstairs with a garden window - kinda like a bay window where you can grow plants - a mini green house.
Root crops are a good choice to follow tomatoes such as carrots. One rotation that I use is:
Legumes ( peanuts, peas, beans) followed by
Leaves ( lettuce, spinach etc.) followed by
Fruits (Tomatoes, Peppers etc.) followed by
Roots (carrots, turnips, etc. ) start over with Legumes
