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?

Panic Time
I'm gripping my chest as we speak... I just finished placing all my seed orders and am in the midst of a mild heart attack due to the cost.
And I still don't have a farmer's market "home" for next year. Aaguuuhgghh..... okay. Deep breath....
Alright, so when the hundreds of seed packets, onion plants, potatoes, and supplies arrive, I'll be okay....right?
I mean, they'll all fit into my quarter acre plot, right? Well, I do plan on selling off a lot of tomato, pepper, and eggplant seedlings to others for their own gardens...
And I can always rent a bit more land if I need it...
It will be alright. I hope.
If I plant it, they will buy. And we'll have more to preserve & eat ourselves. It will work out.
Deep breath.
