But right now we are in the middle of planning what we want to have in them.
So here is a question, what would you grow or are you growing in your garden and have you already started planting?

Last week the weather was unusually nice (in the 80's in Michigan in March!!) So, yes, I have tilled my garden twice so far. Also broke sod for the strawberry patch and where the cherry bushes will be planted this spring. I dug up my Rhubarb, and seperated it and planted it in it's new bed. Cleaned out the raspberries, blackberries, asparagus patch and horseradish patch. Trimmed the apple, pear and blueberry trees/bushes.
In my vegetable garden, I will be planting: Tomatoes, pickling cukes, slicing cukes, pie pumpkins, sweet bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, pole beans, wax beans, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, corn, radish, carrots, potatos, butternut and buttercup squash, beets, spinach, eggplant and rutabaga.
In my Herb garden I will be planting: Basil, oregano, Dill, and parsley. There is also Thyme, garlic and chives already established there.
I pretty much grow/raise all my own food.
(P.S. : My gardens are all heirloom varieties)
