This year we got some free dirt from the same place people drop off their yard waste, and we tripled the size of our garden. We also bought more pots for the patio plus weeded out an old flower bed for even more vegetable space. Then we got seeds from a variety of places ranging from heirloom varieties through Decorah’s Seed Saver Exchange to ready-to-plant vegetables from a variety of sales. Here’s what we have planted in the ground (or greenhouse) as of today. Numbers represent plants; lack of number indicates planted from seed and still needing to be thinned out.
