Our Garden Plan 2011 |

My friend Christie (author of the Listening blog) passed on the neatest program/website to me called GrowVeg.com!

It is an amazing software that allows you to plan out your garden space quickly and easily. It is great for beginners as it shows how much room each plant requires and has all of the information you need about the veggies you might want to grow.

It gives you information about when to plant (i.e. frost dates) and even gives you a final print out of all of the vegetables you selected for your garden and you can use this list as a guide for what to purchase, when to plant and when to harvest!

They even have a 30 day free trial so that you can see how the program works and find out about your veggies and get an overall idea of what you can plant with the space you have.

Here is how my garden turned out! I am so excited to get started planting!

Spring Planting |

With the snow melted I am going to need to start cleaning out the flower beds soon.

It also means I need to figure out what I want to plant and when/where I should plant it.

We are very lucky that the woman who lived in our home last planted beautiful gardens. Every season something new blooms making it so that the garden is always colourful.

These are the few types of flowers that I would like to add this year:

Zinnias

Hydrangeas

Sunflowers

These are the flowers / plants we have in our flower beds so far:

Tulips

Lilac

White and Purple Iris

Chickens and Hens

Orange Rose Bush

Solomon's Seal

Hostas

Mums
