My seeds have arrived!




Yes, there are an insane amount of seed packets covering this table!  I need to remind myself daily that my garden plot at the farm is growing this year, and that I really did need to order this many seeds!  I'm renting almost half an acre of farmland in 2010, and plan to sell produce at a local farmer's market as well as advertising for local pickup sales.  I'll also be selling hundreds of vegetable plants that will be started in my "greenhouse" (aka basement growing area).




This is promising to be an exciting, busy year and I'm trying not to become overwhelmed by all the seeds that are now gracing my office shelves.

Back to the packets.  I am so impressed with Baker Creek's seed packets.  They are just as artistic and unique as their catalog.  I love the black background with beautiful pictures.




The onion plants, potatoes, asparagus, and rhubarb plants will be shipped closer to spring, right at the correct planting time.  They can't be held very long before planting, so the seed companies send them to you at just the right time to plant.  Nice!

To all the fellow gardeners out there, have your seeds begun arriving yet?

Seed swap?

I have been saving some heirloom seeds this year.  Is anyone interested in doing an heirloom seed swap?

I have several varieties of lettuce, beans, pepper, indian & broom corn.

I didn't isolate the plants, so they may not grow exactly true to their parent, but you'll still end up with something close, lol. 

The lettuce should be okay.  I grew freckles (romaine), matina's sweet (butterhead), cimmaron (red romaine), and Amish green deer tongue. 

The mixed-colors broom corn should also be okay - I don't think there was anything nearby it could have crossed with.

What do you think?  Have anything you'd like to swap?
