Making A List - Checking It Twice (part 1)

The recent February thaw make me and other gardeners I'm sure anxious to begin planting and getting our hands dirty. Ok, so there is still at least a half foot of snow on the ground, but it really is time to think about the upcoming growing season. Yesterday I emptied my shoe boxes of seeds and took inventory. I have seeds left over from last year and seeds that I purchased on sale in the fall. That coupled with my Artistic Garden seeds and a few new ones I bought this year makes for quite a stash.

This year, I plan on getting more serious than ever in the garden. Now that food prices are really climbing up we need to rely on our own food. But just as important to me is that I want to know what's in my food.
