1. Make it warm up!
2. Less tomato plants, but the same amount of production based upon varieties planted.
3. Same goes for peppers.
4. Add second pole set-up for Pole Beans. (’Saychelles.’ I LOVE that pole bean!)
5. Add two rose bushes to replace two that have failed.
6. Get fruit trees fertilized SOON.
7. More flowers this season: Dahlias potted and in greenhouse. More cutting Zinnia and fillers.
8. Finish laying asphalt shingles around perimeter of garden beds for weed control.
9. Stay on top of weeding for a change!
10. More bales of straw for The Big Garden, and more Gladiolas planted for cutting.
11. Canning this season: More Salsa, less Pasta Sauce. More Dilly Beans
12. Purchase pressure canner to can more meats and soups and other low-acid foodstuffs.*
13. Move big birdbath closer to the hose so I clean it more often.
14. Put big planter here birdbath was.
15. Add Blueberry bushes this season, and add hydrangea on North East side of back deck. (All are on order.)
16. Talk to ‘The Chairman’ about adding a second rain barrel.
