My brain juices are flowing... all over the place right now.  I want to start planning the garden, but I don't know where to start.  I want to create new garden beds, but I don't know where I want them to be.  I have to put them somewhere they won't get mowed over...

Just so you know, you don't have to come on this journey with me.  This is my set of ramblings, and I don't insist you come along for the ride...  Just in case you do, this is a blog, and is for all intents and purposes and public forum.  If you're coming along, chime in!

The veggie garden currently has 5 raised beds 4'x8' dimensions with drip irrigation installed.  In those beds, we plant tomatoes, cucumbers, beets, peppers, onions, peas, beans, carrots and some lettuce.  There are two 4'x4' beds outside the west side of the garden which grew potatoes last year, and this year will house the garlic, albeit poorly I predict.  To the east of the garden, we have installed 15 thornless raspberry plants which will hopefully produce a nice crop of berries this year.

There are other things I'd like to plant, but feel there may not be room for in the current garden layout.  I'd like a proper herb garden, I'd like asparagus (definitely not room in the garden...), strawberries, okra.

I found an incredibly helpful page today:

Looks like I'm starting my seeds indoors on February 25...  I've put all the dates into Google Calendar and maybe I'll be more organized about it all this year.  I'm getting excited already.
