Good plan. I am a lot better at planning than following plans.

Next year I want to grow more herbs.Build more raised beds. Put out more mulch and do a better job of keeping the weeds down.
I also want to collect my shower water water in a barrel and use it in the garden. I can't be that dirty. I won.t use it on my carrots.

I want to build a chichen coop and a pen also. If I had a few chickens to turn out it would help with the grasshoppers. This year was a lot better than the last few. I put out the nolo bait 3 times. I had a quite a few flowers this year. If they would just eat my grass I could love them.

My goal every year is the same; not to buy plants that need to be potted up and then watered all gardening season. But winter is soooo long, the catalogs soooo enticing, and my in ground space is soooo full that what's a girl to do but get potted.

I'd wondered about the shower water. It would have been easy to plumb when I lived in the mobile but impossible now that we're on a concrete slab.

Plant fewer impatiens. The deer eat them and they take too much water.

Finish my next pond before spring. Once you get it going it's a low maintenance garden.
