Our Mailbox Full of Seeds!

I finished reading "The Omnivore's Dilemma" and started right away on "The End of Food", and have decided that we need to grow our own food. OK, maybe not our own grains or meat or dairy (yet), but certainly our own fruit and veggies. So in the past month I've come up with a plan.
I figure that we won't be able to have a full kitchen garden this summer - there is just too much to do to turn our heavy clay soil into nice fertile loam for the plants. So, this year I plan to plant a couple of raised beds with some tomatoes, beans, peas, radish, lettuce and carrots back behind the garage. Last year I put in an herb garden (fingers crossed it survived the winter) so this year I'll just replace the annuals like basil and dill.
Out in "the back paddock", I'm hoping to put in some red raspberries, black raspberries, and blueberries. I'm also thinking it would be great to put in some asparagus... so that in a few years we'll have yummy berries and asparagus. We had raspberries in the back yard of our house in the city, and I really miss going out into the garden early in the morning during July and getting ripe berries.
Then, I'm planning to put down some kind of mulch to kill off a section of the weeds in "the back paddock" so that come the fall I can till it under, and plant more things next year!
So, I went on line to the Terra Edibles site, ordered my seeds, and they arrived on Friday!! I'm very excited. Tomorrow I'm going to lay out the packages and make a plan of what to plant, when to start, etc. I'm going to use this blog to track my process. I'm sure that it will be quite the learning experience, but it's going to be so great.
