As crocus fades and purple hyacinths scent fills the air, I planted the first window box flowers – 3 6-packs of pansies. Make such a difference!

But it is the vegetable, herb, and flower seeds that will soon be “chartered out” on paper for every planting bed, container, and raised bed.

Will I change my mind? Absolutely! “On paper planning” does help in making sure I have enough seeds and plants but shifting and adding a few more annuals… and then deciding to increase some succession planting to add to my bush bean and cilantro harvests…well, it is all part of gardening!
