Garden Plans

I think I finally have my garden all planned out for this year. Since this is my very first time at attempting a garden, I am quite nervous! I pretty much have no idea what I am doing, so I have been reading books on the subject, trying to talk to women who do have a garden, and perusing gardening posts from my bloggy friends.

Vegetables I decided to grow:
  • Romaine Lettuce
  • 'Royal Burgundy' Beans
  • Potatoes
  • Rhubarb
  • Zucchini
  • Tomatoes - probably a couple different kinds to make some pasta sauces
  • Pumpkins
Herbs:
  • Mint
  • Oregano
  • Basil
  • Thyme
  • Parsley
  • Sage
  • Lavender
I may be tempted to try a couple Strawberry plants as well, but I have not decided yet. :)

Now it is time to buy my seeds and plan my garden layout! I am chomping at the bit for winter to be over!

P.S. Any advice on creating raised beds vs. not? or Heirloom seeds vs. Hybrid?
