@Cosmo spring garden ,
My goals for 2023:
1) buy all seeds early (DONE)
2) Use a calendar for a seed starting schedule
(I already have 3 of those saved on my laptop. I need to do some adjustments, such as modification of starting melons and squashes later to avoid squash vine borers)
3) Fall prep for beds
This has become a WINTER project, but it has evolved into smaller bites, which I am documenting on my thread.
4) pulling up/sawing burdock and burning
5) poisoning both 1st year and 2nd year burdock (starting with ANY winter/spring day without rain that tops 60 degrees F)
If I till the area I will pull up weed seeds, so that's not an option
6) cardboarding some burdock areas and covering, such as the south and west aisles between the chicken run and horse fencing
I don't intend to till this area but I might grow something there, like the Mennonite Sorghum that I just bought seeds from.
7) finish fixing up grape vine rows, including taking pruning for root cuttings this winter
