- Oh my goodness! I never dreamed I would love the results of using these maps. It made getting my garden beds up and running so easy. Now, all I have to do is control the bugs and continue to harvest. I love it.
Will I do it again next year? I will tweak it just a little bit but try to use the same infrastructure. I love the way it is all growing.

I hope your gardens are going well. Remember to put your dream garden on paper and get it planned for next year. Now is a good time to take notes as to what works and what doesn't.
Blessnings,
Penny

Good morning friend. Penny, I loved your video and so pleased that your plan worked out.😊 In the years I've had my growing area I've always created a plan, otherwise you spend too much wasted time on wondering what to do where. As I'm sure I've mentioned I have no garden this year so living vicariously through you and loving seeing your progress. Can't wait for that tally at the end of the season and to see all your preserving efforts. You and Mark have a wonderful day, Louise. x❤
Thank you Louise, I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I thought of you when I wondered if other people planned. I am sure you are especially since you’re reworking things this year. I am so happy to have you come along with my garden this year and I’m hoping to see many pictures of yours next! I need to do a video on my tally so far. Things have just been very crazy as usual. It’s been a challenge to get videos made. I am so looking forward to August and the #EveryBitCounts challenge. I can’t wait! I hope you and your family have a blessed week! ❤️
Love your garden layout, and I always enjoy a tour of all you have going on your property. This year was the first time I wrote logged what I planted , and when I've fertilized, etc. Baby steps! Have a blessed day, my sweet friend!
Thank you Shari! I love having you come along. My goal is to write down when I fertilize as well but I haven’t yet due to all the rain we have had. I’m hoping to go out and use my comfrey tea today. Baby steps, indeed! You have a blessed day as well!❤️
Oh my! I'd love to have a big wall of spinach like that!
I have picked it and picked it and offered for any of my friends to come even if I’m not home and just go for it. It is beautiful. I told my husband yesterday that if somebody needed a hedge just during the summer, it would be perfect! You could do a whole wall of it. Thanks for watching and for commenting! Have a blessed day! 😁
I have always planned my garden in January when it is cold and snowy. I am planning for future happiness. My only concern for doing the same for next year is that crop rotation helps keep the soil healthy. I never plant the same crop in the same spot year after year. Blessings.
I love how you said you would be planning for future happiness. It really is not labor so much as excitement that way.
Good for you, Barb! I’ve thought about it in January. Just never thoroughly planned it like I did this year. Yes, crop rotation is something to think about. That’s why I was saying a few things I would switch around. Although I’ve seen a lot of information that says for the small at home gardener crop rotation is not as important. I believe it is to an extent though. I too love the fact that you plan for future happiness! That is so true, good to hear from you, friend! 😁
Absolutely!!!! 😁
If crop rotation is not easily done in your spaces, then amending your soil is very important. Using a good compost is critical and I think you are already moving forward in that. Blessings on you and yours.
@@barb9181 Absolutely Barb. Yes, we apply new compost every year! 😁
LOL I just get in there and plant.
That’s what I used to do. And I thought that was fine until this year. I had too much space to do that with. But more power to you friend! I’m glad it works for you! We are all definitely very different. That’s what makes things fun! 😜🤣
The best part of your garden (to me) is that it is so open (like your channel name) and full of options. I love that I can see the sites of all the veg homes and appreciate volunteers within the confines of your paper dreams. It looks airy, refreshing, and productive even when it is weeds. A truly happy place to spend time and gather food and become productive while using your energy for doing good. I adored seeing your garden with some of your ideas and some of the gardens ideas mixed together - a beautiful team. Your original hard work in the winter has really paid off by getting so much infrastructure done ahead and I think will pay off for several years to come. Just make updates on your paper dreams now while it is still fresh in mind, which can also be more fun this time as so much of the work is already done with sizes and sun directions and experience. I'm so happy for you and for the wild sunflowers that are beaming big smiles down from way up high while they enjoy their visitors perched in their arms. Oh, by the way, how do you eat/cook the spinach?
Hi Mary! Thanks so much for all of your kind words! I do love the looks of the garden this year. I like the way it has its nice rows and yet other areas where I could just put things and not feel like they had to be perfect. And yes, those crazy sunflowers! There is one behind the chicken run from where we look out our window and it is about 5 feet above the chicken run that is over 6 feet tall. It is gigantic! I love looking out and seeing all of those yellow smiley faces!
Thanks so much for the idea that I should right now take notes on what I would like to do differently next year so that I don’t forget. You are so absolutely right about that. I always love learning from you.
My favorite way to eat the spinach is to chop it up and sauté it just for a minute or two in butter or ghee and then put about 2 teaspoons of cream cheese in it and melt that down and it makes the most delicious creamy spinach. 😁 Blessings friend! ❤️
You guys have a great looking garden this year.👍
Thanks Ginny! Good to hear from you! I hope all is well! 😁
