What are *your* next year's gardening goals?

my own goals are rather simple.

I want to grow more potatoes.
I have already dug out the paths for several new raised beds.
I am starting with intensive gardening (planted garlic already in
optimal distances from each other)
I want to start experimenting with the harvesting of courgettes - how
much harvesting, at what stage, produces the best yield, etc.
I want to grow tomatoes that ripen naturally in the garden (I'm in
Ireland (where you won't find any eggpants)).
I want to make better use of my weeds - haven't tried making nettle beer
or blackberry jam yet.
I want to plant some fruit trees - I have some orange seeds in a cold
frame at the moment - more wishful thinking than anything, there.
I want to work on getting my bamboo plants growing properly.

and I want to do all that as efficiently as possible.
