Call us crazy, but we are extending our garden. We had a bunch of mink compost leftover, so we decided to till it in behind the garden and grow our corn and vines (pumpkins, watermelon, cantaloupe, zucchini) back there.
Who knows what it will be in the long run... my dream was to build a pergola and patio seating area and plant grapes to climb over it. Then we inherited the truck and realized it needs a resting place, so we talked about making a gravel pad there. Neither of those plans were going to happen this year, so now it will become fruitful... literally.
Speaking of garden plans, Mike has been asking me to plan the garden for a few months now. I guess I am more the type to plant things as I go, and I had a picture of it in my head but of course he couldn't see it. He had finally had it with my loose interpretation of a plan, so he whipped one up himself! The engineer in him has to be exact, so it includes not only dimensions and spacing, but even number of "seeds needed", "projected harvest date", and "projected yield (lbs.)".
You should be able to enlarge it and check it out. I'm willing to hire him out if anyone it interested! :)
