Yesterday saw the garden turn from sh!t hole to looking good in three hours. The cats in our road all poo on the lawn and with months of no one going out there to get rid of the poo they went made and left piles everywhere! all gone now but paprika might be needed!

I have been meaning to get my garden sorted for months. This year I want to have all my seeds nicely established for the summer season. Last year I was 6 weeks late and that affected my crop so badly. I had loads of stuff but I think the full potential of alot of my crop was not met. Thinks like the peppers never kicked off, the onions I have just chucked away as they had not formed and the tomatoes just did not get big.

So my plans for crop 2010:

1. Shorter rows, I will put the rows in a vertical fashion compared to last years long lines.
2. Two or three rows planted of each fruit / veg in one or two spots.
3. New plot where old tomatoes where.
4. Dedicated little pots for herbs with a automated watering set-up.
5. Early propagation.
6. Early preparation of the ground, this includes feeding and the de-weeding of these areas.
7. New and better propagation tunnels outside and more use of greenhouse.

So that is my steps to success this year? well lets hope so. I will be keeping a diary of the weekly progress with pictures and possibly a video diary to go with it but that is only a might be!

When I have my plan of the garden mapped out I will scan it and upload it.

Stay tuned….
