Things That Are Making Me Happy

Another Trip Round the Sun...
I've got big plans for this year. Exciting plans. One of my dreams has always been to have a market garden - I love to grow good food and I love seeing other people excited about eating fresh food. When I was a child one of the things I very much loved to do was to set up a little stand on the road by our house and sell flowers or rhubarb - it was great fun to me. This past summer I was offered the opportunity to use the land where I've been gardening (for myself, for and with the landowner and for the foodbank) the last few years to start a market garden. Well...it didn't take much arm twisting to convince me. Ahem.
It has been an interesting week narrowing down the choices and figuring out just exactly what and how much I will grow. How many bean seeds of each kind does one actually need to get?!? How many tomatoes would be reasonable (this coming from a person who usually grows around 100 plants just for herself)? How much salad mix of each kind to buy to keep one whole garden section continuously succession planted in baby greens from spring to late autumn?!?
