Default My 2017 season - gardening in a tiny space

Yes it's not 2017 yet but I'm in the middle of planning my 2017 garden



My plans for 2017 are:

In containers:

4 peppers:
- Ancho poblano
- PI 439410
- Trinidad Scorpion Green (I hope it is really as mild as promised)
- Ferenec Tender

Seeds are all ordered and should arrive next week. I do start them in december and keep them under artificial lights, in march I'll move them to the window and in may they'll go outside.

11 tomatoes:
-Wherokowhai
-Banksia Queen
-Uluru Ochre
-Boronia
-Summertime Green
-Summertime Gold
-Auria
-Primrose Gage
-Lucid Gem
-Sungold F1
-Black Cherry

I hope that I can wait till march with sowing them but I'll probably start them too early again I'll only keep one healthy plant per variety AND these are all varieties I haven't tried yet.

Groundcherries, 1-2 varieties I haven't really decided yet. I'll start them along with the tomatoes but I want to keep several plants because I love them as a sweet treat

And 2 eggplant varieties, I've ordered Mitoyo and Little Fingers, I really wanted to try a tiny variety.

In ground plants:

- sweetcorn
I'll try one of the new non hybrid extra sweet varieties, last year I had one hybrid extra sweet variety that did great and a really good looking but not so tasty heirloom with red ears.

- beans

- zucchini (1 plant)

- melon (extra early varieties are my only option)

- white beets

- flower sprouts (2 plants just to try it)

- russian kale (same here, just a few plants)

- carrots

I don't know how to fit all this in 6 squaremeters but somehow I'll make it happen. Or I'll buy more containers.
