My Grandmother, Sadie, loved this time of year because the seed catalogs began to arrive in the mail. Patience is not my long suite, so this morning I went online and ordered seeds for 2013. They are scheduled to arrive in 7 to 10 days. YIPPEE!
Now to create a planting schedule so each one will be just right when it is time to put them in the garden.
The first project is to start an indoor fresh herb garden, just a moderately small container garden with a few varieties of basil and some cilantro. We have herbs from last year in the freezer: sage, thyme, dill, oregano, chives and basil, but it is so nice to have fresh. My hope is to have this growing in the kitchen window.
Also, in the greenhouse, where it is quite cool now, it will be a good time to start fresh spinach and lettuce.
Something new this year, we ordered seeds for stevia and tomatillo.
My Handsome Prince loves radishes, so we ordered three different varieties, a total of 1000 seeds. Too funny!
