Over-plant? Who? Me??
Excellent article, Leon - Every year I plan, plan, and plan some more (that's what winter is for here)... and then end up cramming "just a few more" things into the allotted space
(We have 14 acres, but fortunately most of it is cedar swamp so I do have some limitations.) And I so agree, every year it takes me longer to get things done than it did the year before. I also have a bit of a problem with fearing a major crop failure, so I tend to plant about twice as much of the main things (tomatoes, peppers, beans, onions, squash) as I should....
I hate to think of the time when I just cannot garden anymore!! (in the meantime, I'll keep planting more than I need to and making extra work for myself...)
