My goal for 2012 is to have a less crowded garden than in 2011. However that might prove a bit of a challenge considering all the seeds I'm planning to start/plant next year. I did, however manage to weed out a few of the seed packets but even with that I still have 55 varieties. I did forewarn my hubby that I've claimed the side yard that has the grass dying for the 2012 squash patch. I can only hope it's big enough!
So how could someone possibly come up with 55 different seeds to plant in a small back-yard veggie patch? Well here goes:

The craziest part of this list is it's leaving out the perennial herbs and veggies that are already in the garden...the chives, oregano, thyme, asparagus, strawberries, artichokes (if they survive the winter), raspberries and blueberries...not to mention the three grape varieties. My garden hobby definitely has the possibility of outgrowing my back yard! But I could imagine worse things.
