My Goal in 2015

I am keeping things simple this year.  One goal (that has two parts). 




Create the 1) garden space and 2) plant a couple things in the orchard.




Simple, yes.  Easy, no. 




I still do not know where I want the garden to be.  I don't know how big I really want it to be (but I do know I want it big).  Makes perfect sense, right!




For the orchard, I know I want a couple (more) apple trees, a pear tree, a raspberry patch, a strawberry patch, some blueberry bushes, an elderberry bush and probably other things too.  I also need to get an asparagus bed started as it takes 2-3 years to establish one and I hear they can be very difficult to start.




Then we start in on the herb portion of the garden... 


And the idea to have a small greenhouse that is about 10' X 16' in size - I need to see if it is okay to build one of these - not sure if our covenants restrict this type of building.  I want one very similar to the one the Elliott Homestead built this past year.  It is beautiful and would be a welcome addition to any gardening lovers plans!  Can you imagine how early I could start vegetables and how late I could harvest them?  Wow.  What a wonderful addition if I can make it happen!  If I can't do a permanent structure, maybe a smaller portable greenhouse (like this???)


I am really excited to begin this process and planning where everything will go and how we will accomplish it!
