    Get some climbing plants for the fences and some decorative trees and shrubs. Nothing ambitious, but some more features for an otherwise wild garden.

    My plan is to finally try hydroponics alongside my traditional garden. Apart from that I want to get to know my new gardening space. We moved houses mid-season last year and I haven’t had the chance to get to know this patch.

    Provide my wife the infrastructure she needs to garden effectively. I am excellent at developing systems and awful at gardening, and she is awful at developing systems but excellent at gardening.

        Sub irrigated planters are another option. They’re equally effective, but they take the human error factor of setting and adjusting watering rates out of the equation.

        This is the site I used to make mine and it turned out well:

        Note that he says not to put perennial plants in it. This may be true for areas that get a very deep freeze, but my perennials did great in zone 8.

    Last year I traveled so much that I had no time to trim anything, and by the end of the season my one tomato took over half of the garden. This year I will do actual maintenance.

    I also want to try growing chamomile

    I want to be able to fight back the chaos a little, clear up the paths and fill up some bare spots. I want a compost heap and I want to learn to compost my oak leaves. I am going to plant a tree but I haven’t decided which one yet. My goals have to be small because I haven’t got enough time. What are yours?
