Spring Greens

This kale got planted too late in the season to be havestable yet this fall. Pretty soon the high tunnel won't get enough good light to foster growth, and the plants will go dormat over the winter. But when the spring sunlight comes back we'll have an amazing kick-start on the season.

The plan is to plant a few more salad greens yet...and then maybe we'll be eating out of the high tunnel come March.

Woolgathering

It's January and cold. High of zero today. Time to hunker down with some seed catalogs, dreaming of warmer days.

These are all the catalogs I have so far. Haven't done much veggie gardening since we moved, so I'm not on many lists anymore. New house has small shady lot with lots of mature trees. We love the neighborhood, but I miss my large, sunny backyard plot.

Pinetree Garden Seeds was always one of my favorites because they sell smaller seed counts at lower prices--packets are just right for one year's planting in the home garden. That means I can try the Boothby's Blonde heirloom cucumbers one year and then Sweet Success the next without wasting seeds or money. Here's Garden Rant's praise for Baker Creek Seeds, another in my meager stack.

Where do you get your seeds?
