Plans are being made
As the buds start to pop out all around us, ideas start popping into my head and seeds start to pile up in corners of my living room. It is almost spring planting season! In this post I am hoping to walk you through the beginnings of the plans I am putting to action.
Before I can plan for what I want, I begin by acknowledging what I have. Over the past three years the food forest has slowly but surely grown into a lovely little oasis. Our current plants list is a beautiful sight.

This table needs to approximately double in size over the next three weeks because I also need a lot of seeds to finish my plans for my established beds.
Seeds I Need
| Tomatoes | Lemon Verbena |
| Chamomile | Onions |
| Radishes | Tarragon |
| Native Wildflower | Milkweed (2 varieties) |
| Carrots | Green Beans |
| Dahlia | Jalapenos |
| Bell Peppers | Tabasco Peppers |

A few of these seeds will need to be ordered online but most of the seeds I need can be found at my favorite locally-owned one-stop-shop for vegetable seeds, Marietta Seed & Feed! They are my favorite local place to shop for seeds and it had that classic small-town vibe.
Some of these plants, like the tomatoes and peppers, needed to be started indoors a few weeks ago. Unfortunately my greenhouse was destroyed this winter and I haven’t had the opportunity to rebuild yet so I didn’t get to start as many early seeds as I wanted. So I will be looking to another local-owned business for help, Lady Slipper Rare Plant Nursery!
