Things you say every year.

This year I'm not going to bother planting rows of potatoes, because I always get a much better crop from the volunteers that sprout in the compost heap and other random spots.

This year I'm going to sow all my seeds direct or in modules. No more pricking out!

This year I'm going to grow enough peas to freeze some and not just eat the entire crop directly from the pods within seconds of picking them.

I make these promises to myself every year, and every year I end up breaking them. Does anyone else do this? What are yours?

There’s plenty of room between rows, it’ll be fine! Then having to sidestep between and over all the plants.

Or my favorite, I’ll remember what these seeds are and where I stored them.

I have a gardener friend I sometimes swap seeds with by post, and it's become a running joke that we'll often throw in a pack with some kind of cryptic or ridiculous descriptive label instead of an actual plant name.

i tell myself every year i won't put so many tomato plants in the greenhouse.
but i do it anyway.

and i will sow seeds and think they won't germinate after not waiting long enough, so i buy more seeds and plant more. then i have way too many plants. because then they ALL sprout
