Use my cold frame for some veggies that LOVE heat like my sprite melon- Grow alot more dry beans so I can let them grow all season and just reap the benefits once they are done (overall I am looking for ways to maximize my time and space out the preserving routine
- Need to grow LOTS OF TOMATOES because I didn't have enough to can this year. Fingers crossed I don't get the blight again!
- Trying some new varieties that I haven't tried again and may put aside ones I always plant. So I think I won't be planting butternut squash again, I love them but they don't last the winter well and I found some more interesting squash varieties
- Preserve as many cherries as I can! My favorite this year was my preserved cherries on yogurt. I only had enough for 5 jars and I need MORE, MORE!
- Preserve my apples as 'Apple Pie Preserves'
- Grow beets, beets, and more beets!
- Get certified as a Square Foot Garden expert so I can teach! Application underway!

I second the blight and the bean part. My beans had many problems last year, hoping to have a better 2010!
