We've gotten 9 inches of rain in February, which is close to our record of 12 inches. Maybe this means we'll get all the rain out of the way, and things will dry out enough to plant early. Now, that would be amazing.
The plan is to have a smaller garden with less plants to give individual varieties more room to grow. Diseases were terrible last year with the wet weather, hopefully giving plants ample room will help with that.

Kentucky Fried Garden is my journal of vegetable gardening in humid western Kentucky USDA zone 7a. Knowing where my food comes from and whether it comes from non-genetically modified seed is important to me. I try to use open pollinated varieties in an effort to continue maintaining the diversity of food plants available to humans. Trying to extend the harvest by experimenting with hardier varieties and overwintering plants will be one of my projects.

I'm not far behind you with about 8 inches of rain in the past 30 days. It's so soggy. More space and better air circulation definitely has helped with reducing diseases in my garden. I also give my tomato and pepper plants an early treatment of Serenade before any diseases have a chance to take hold, that has helped a lot too. Ajvarski is one of my most favorite sweet peppers now.
I'm definitely going to be sure to use Serenade early on this year, it works much better as a preventative. And Ajvarski is a superb pepper, so sweet and juicy. I can't wait for summer!
