Today also marks my 10 year anniversary here at EarthNSky.  We moved 
here on Halloween of 1998.
I know y'all probably think all I do is think and post about politics, 
but I really do have more going on than that.  Currently, I'm planning 
for not only next year's garden, but for the next few years.  I want to 
grow things for seed next year so that I will have fresher seed for the 
years beyond that.
This is really the first time I have intentionally planted seed for seed 
collection purposes as opposed to food purposes.  I am kind of worried 
about crossing things, so I have to be careful.  I want to grow multiple 
squashes, but I have to figure out exactly how to do that in a small 
area.  I'll be growing lots of paste tomatoes as well.  I indulged 
myself this year and grew slicers, but I think I should concentrate more 
on the paste types....more bang for the buck.
I've spoken offlist to James about corn and OP distancing and timing, 
and I think I now have a plan for my place on that.  Thanks again, James.
What, if anything, are y'all doing for your 2010 garden and beyond?
