Permapeople in the new year

Hey Permapeople,

First of all, happy new year and welcome to all the new people who joined us in the last weeks!

How are you holding up in 2021 so far? I am in hard lockdown here in Berlin, Germany and it is tough since the weather is also not the best to do anything! But it is the best time to start plan the coming garden season. I saw many of you posting their plans and seed deliveries on Reddit already, and I can't wait for myself to get going again! Here is my list of what I want to grow next year. I aim for more perennial plants and more berries since everybody in the family loves them.

The marketplace is slowly filling with products and I couldn't be happier! If you ever wanted to grow Asparagus from seeds, have a Meyer lemon tree, foraged seeds for Canadian natives or even buy vegan soap or fresh lemons, you should check out the marketplace!

Another thing I am equally happy about is that Tina joined our team a few weeks ago! Welcome, Tina! Read how she gardens while there is a pandemic here.

We are continuing to improve the platform and started thinking about how we can get a quick first version of the garden log and planner in front of you to start this season with proper logging and later remember why and when you planted all your plants. Hopefully, this helps you get closer to your gardening goals in 2021!

Let me know what you think or hit me up with any questions. I am reading and responding to every mail. Also, I hope you can find some quiet and relaxing time at the end of this year.

Happy next season planning 🌱✌️,
Ben

PS: You are creating more and more lists, which is awesome. There are so many interesting ones, so I cannot decide which one to share. Please check them all out!
