    I am in S. Calif and can vary from zone 8b to 9b… which means nearly all year I can grow some food. Heat of late Summer is my struggle/dormant time.
    1) Take the garden from hobby to functional.
    2) Larger area: Decide on just a few items for storage, relishes or canning, and sharing.
    3) Small patches: Plan for at least three green items at all times, and three to five other colors at all times (includes fruit from trees) for fresh eating.

    1. Build a mini high tunnel to extend my season and be able to have more productive warm season vegetables.
    2. Learn more about fruit bearing perennial bushes and trees for my area and plan wher in my garden they will do well and start planting at least 3.
    3. Expand into harder to grow vegetables to increase my gardening knowledge and experience.

    Just wanted to add the easiest way of making a digital copy of a paper plan is to take a photo of it rather than trying to master drawing it in Paint or some other program.

    2. Plant heirloom varieties to save the seeds.
    3. Start seedling indoor and transplant

    Thanks for the tips!

    Hi Hew, I'm in Australia so I have to flip all the seasons back to front but your YouTube clips are a massive help in getting more out of my garden. My 3 goals for this year are 1. look to plant more heritage/heirloom varieties 2. Add to the fruit trees in the garden which in turn will provide some much needed shade in the summer for the veggies and 3. set up a grey water system to support the new fruit trees.

  • Archana Mallya

    My 3 gardening goals this year are

    2. To nurture the garden with organic matters and recycle as much as possible
    3. To have a patch of flowers that will enhance the beauty of my back yard.

    Is there anyway of contacting you to seek professional help? Let me know.
