Spring Garden Acre is a blog about our family's gardening adventures. We call our place Spring Garden Acre, because we live on Spring Road with about an acre. We're located in zone 6b of south central PA. We grow peaches, berries, vegetables and keep a few chickens for eggs and meat.

Garden Plans Big and Small
I know it's crazy, but we're already so excited for spring! We've gotten seeds from several garden bloggers. Hooray! Thank you. It makes us all the more eager for spring. Like Robin said, it's never to early to begin making garden plans. It's not oil on canvas, but pen on paper is a start!
Our little man, C. James has his own garden plans today. Out of the blue he said, "pa, I'm gonna plants some carrots". So I gave him seeds and he went out into the cold in his socks and planted them. He came in and said, "It's a good thing we don't have to pull weeds out there, the weeds are all dying." We'll have to keep an eye out for those carrots. Maybe this spring the garden fairy will have to visit that spot with a few fresh seeds as a guarantee. Wink, wink.
Are you making plans for spring too?

Perhaps those new years eve planted carrots will be your best crop yet. You never know ;) Happy New Year!
ReplyDeletegood for you for making garden plans already. I know i am going to plant something next year and that is about as far as i have gotten..lol
ReplyDeleteOh, that's great! I think that C James will be teaching Pa a thing or two about gardening in a couple of years!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year the "Spring Garden Acre" family!
I'm still harvesting fall garden...don't tell me I'm late already for Spring:o(
ReplyDeleteI cooked the Brocolli from the side garden today , the leaves with the tops and they were absolutely delicious...You can't buy the leaves with the tops too at the store :o) ..this little "Almost and Acre " is really shinning :o)
C. James is on his way to becoming a master gardener! Children sure do make gardening fun, don't they, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm deep into interior work, so my garden planning might have to wait until February.
Jane, I don't doubt it. It's 47 degrees outside tonight! We're going to watch and wait.
ReplyDeleteMrs Pickles, It's the garden plans for spring that we hope will get us through the winter!
Robin, I don't doubt it. He already thinks he knows!
Ginny, I'm very jealous of your "fall" harvest down there. Next time I harvest broccoli, I'm going to remember to include the leaves.
Granny, We're hoping so. They do make it so much fun. If seed gifts from friends have the same effect on you as they do on us, I bet you'll get the gardening bug sooner than February. I'm just sayin'.
Blogger isn't cooperating in the comment department. I love that C. James is catching the gardening bug. May his carrots grow well!
ReplyDeleteYeah...I'm in planning mode, too! I can't seem to help it...we've just entered winter and I'm longing to work the earth and sow some seeds! C has the right idea...just throw down some seeds and be grateful for the lack of weeds! Happy New Year and happy planning :-)
ReplyDeleteLeigh, blogger seems to have worked for you now. Thanks, we hope they grow too.
ReplyDeleteBee Girl, Isn't it fun! Happy New Year.
I love the planning. I actually started planning the garden for 2012 at the end of the summer.
ReplyDeleteVanessa, I love the planning too. Its getting us through the winter!
ReplyDeleteI have tons of plans for this year! checking the germination on some old seeds already. Can't wait for it to get warmer so I can really get going!
ReplyDeleteIt is always exciting to plan for spring. But I never follow any of my plan;-). It always depended on which seedlings grows well first and ready to be transplanted. Yet I still do daydream and make plans for spring each winter.
ReplyDeleteMary, it sounds like you've got the itch too!
ReplyDeleteMK girl, it's very exciting. I know our plans will have to be adjusted too. With seeds and plants and soil and weather, you just never know!
