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.

The majority of the seeds on my list were either left over from last years garden or purchased 'on sale' in the fall from various seed racks. AGWAY, WALGREENS, WALMART usually have seeds on sale in September. As for seeds I am adding this year..I scout out every seed rack. I've already bought a pack or two from Walmart, Lowe's, Home Depot and K-mart. I also ordered from Artistic Gardens - they have 35cents sample packs. This year I also put in an order to turtletreeseed.org for some cold tolerant heirloom veggies.
WELL, Honey Bear takes care of the food garden and I am in charge of the flowers...He has started some of his seedlings inside....we are going to a Heirloom Nursery on Saturday.

Wow, you really have a big garden. We are starting our first garden this year. We are doing the square food method.
I'm so looking forward to learning more about gardening, and having my home grown veggies!
I'll have container herbs, that I will sit around our front flower garden.
You have lot's of great information. Thanks for sharing.
