Every year I challenge myself to grow something new in the garden – herbs, vegetables, or fruits. This year is no different then years past.
After scouring my favorite seed catalogs, conducting [way to] many internet searches, and talking with my gardening friends, I am ready to debut my 2013 edible garden!
Below is a list of vegetables I am planning to "squeeze" into my garden for the 2013 growing season. My plan is to track the growth of the seedlings for better planning for next year. Check back often for updates as my garden grows.
