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.

I have drawn up my garden plans but they include a lot of new plants I haven’t grown before. I think some of my plans have plants with different watering needs directly beside each other, so I definitely need to revise that before sharing with anyone!
Thankfully, my seed list is pretty much complete so I am going to go through that in this post to kind of show the process of planning.
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.
