garden planning

In the (very) beginning stages of planning our garden for this year.  We learned a lot (and grew a lot!) last growing season, but of course still have a lot to learn. We are wanting to expand how many types of plants we are growing (I'm trying not to get over ambitious, as we are still very much novice gardeners), as well as trying to change over to growing from organic and Heirloom seeds, and using all organic soil, etc. The two catalogs we are looking through are Harris Seeds and Baker Creek.

We will use the same bed along the back of our house again this year, but will also be adding a lot of containers to the back deck. Been reading and studying through The Vegetable Gardener's Container Bible, as well as my other gardening books I purchased last year. We are liking the Container Garden concept, as they are less permanent and can be moved, don't really have to worry about weeds, etc. Although if we ever have more room (and more sunlight, tons of trees in our backyard), this Square Foot Gardening method looks fabulous.
