As soon as I began to leaf through the 2002 catalog from the Territorial Seed Company that came in today&#8217;s mail, I felt urge to go out and clean up the mess of last year&#8217;s garden. Yes. I&#8217;m terribly behind. I&#8217;ve been so busy on other gardening projects that the vegetable garden has been neglected, almost since we came back from England last summer.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nInspired by the Square Foot gardening concept, I decided to map out the vegetable garden more precisely. So, before I could tear out the remains of last year&#8217;s plants, I measured off where they were and drew a map. (This is to help me with my &#8220;crop rotation&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>That was the extent of my planning, for today. I spent the rest of the day raking leaves and pulling out old tomato plants. More cleaning up in store tomorrow. I hope to turn over the beds. (It&#8217;s not that my garden is very big, only that I&#8217;m rather slow and not very strong.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time to think about planting the vegetable garden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[9],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=193"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5191,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193\/revisions\/5191"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=193"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=193"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=193"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
