Tanglewood Hollow

I put in our garden seed order this morning. I’ve become quite a cheapskate lately (finally), so it was pretty hard spending that much money all at once. I stayed away from hybrids whenever possible though, so hopefully we can get most of our seeds for next year out of this year’s crop.

All said and done it cost about $300. Yikes! The most expensive stuff was for things that will give us years and years of fruit though. I kinda went overboard on the strawberries, but can you really have too many?

My plan is to do the family crop in the garden beds and along the garden fence (for most of the vining plants). Whatever is left over will be incorporated into the borders of the yard for a permaculture attempt. I’ve already scattered a bunch of chestnuts around. We’ll see if any come up.

I’m also going to have to tame the mad tangle of concord grapes that came with the house. If I can get them into line I think we’ll be able to get a ton of grapes from them in a few years. They are pretty productive as they are, but the vines have climbed some of the trees that came up in the area, so they are a bit out of reach. We’ll clear most of the wild raspberries and brambles out to make room for the new domestic raspberries and some of the strawberries. I might try to squeeze in the apple trees there too, depending on how much light I can bring in from cutting down a couple of the trees on the property border.

Lots of planning to do!
