It has taken me a few days, but my Plangarden.com Design is getting pretty close so I thought I would share it with all of you. My Garden Design . The design on here is just the main garden in the back. We are also doing some smaller gardens in the front and side yard, but for now Im just focusing the design on the main garden in the back. There are a few things I will probably change around or add, but most everything is in the ground already so I cant very easily change it once its in the ground! I have really enjoyed this software!!
We have a lot of stuff going on in the garden (as you can see from the picture) but here is a list of the veggies we have planted/or will be planting soon.

Then we have just a few that we purchased as plants:

Peppers (Our pepper seedlings just arent looking so great so we are going to purchase a few peppers as well)
We also purchased:
Yukon Gold Potatoes
Red Potatoes
Peanuts
A few onion varieties
That is the run down of the plants we have going on in the backyard. Most of the seed packets we purchased still have quite a few seeds in them so they are in a container in the freezer so hopefully we can use them next year and save some extra money on seeds!
We are going to try and save our seeds this year (but we've never done this before so who knows!) and then we wont have to buy the majority of our seeds next year either...PLUS we just want to learn how to save our seeds!
It is extremely excitting to watch these tiny little plants grow from such small seeds. It is encouraging to see the garden finally starting to get some green!

We want to learn to live with less as we laydown roots to our little homestead.
Wow, that's a lot of plants. Can't wait to hear about it!! And when you learn how to save your seeds and replant them, let me know!!
