Vegetable Garden Plans

I didn't finish my project from Tuesday, I have been completely engrossed in my gardening preparation.

This year, as I have mentioned, I will have a lovely garden that will be fruitful and vegetableful. As per my gardening plans (above) I will be growing the following in my new vegetable garden:
    tomatoes - three varieties
    pumpkins
    watermelons
    leafy greens - spinach, lettuce, chard
    corn (surprise dad, you will get some corn!)
    marigolds around the perimeter (not shown)

I am getting down to the wire to finish preparing my little 64 square foot plot; spinach should be sown this weekend!

In addition to my gardening plans, I am working on getting my back yard in shape. It is going to take some time, but I am really looking forward to having a nice lawn instead of weeds. There are so many goat heads growing in my yard, way more than I ever remember seeing growing here before and they seem to pop up over night. I am overwhelmed by the quantity, but I need to calm down a bit and get rid of them pronto (so next year there won't be many).
