Let's plan the vegetable garden together! As it's springtime, now is the perfect time to start planning the garden. This week, I'll be sharing my plans for the new space. I'll take you through my step-by-step design process, my goals for the garden, and the planting plans and layouts. Even though I'm starting from scratch, I'm excited to have the opportunity to create something beautiful in a new garden. Come along with me as I plan for the 2024 garden.

My must-grow plants for the home garden. Over the years of vegetable gardening in Minnesota, I’ve grown and experimented with many different plants. I’ve compiled a list of my all-time favorite vegetable and flower varieties from my backyard garden. These are the plants I love and grow season after season because of their flavor, productivity, disease resilience, and, of course, beauty and charm in the garden. My kitchen garden wouldn’t be complete without these staple plants.
