We had our first planning meeting this morning, and I wanted to share with you a sneak peak of what will be coming this year. Our theme for the year is “simpler is better” for a number of reasons. We are still going to be trying some fun things, but nothing as crazy as last year!

2015 MapAs you can see, this doesn’t tell you much. I think the two things that a lot of gardeners are going to be very interested in are the varieties of squash that are “supposed” to be more resistant to squash vine borer and squash bugs, as well as how we grow the parthenocarpic zucchini (don’t need pollination to set fruit) under row covers to prevent squash vine borer damage.

We will be doing more detailed planning of these areas over the next couple weeks, so I will be sharing more about our plans as details are available.
