Gone to Seed

We scoured the heirloom catalogs of Seed Savers Exchange and Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds and ended up with 85 packets. It's all part of the cost of learning, however: What we like, what grows well, what survives the vicissitudes of inept farming. 

So far, I'm most impressed with Seed Savers Exchange. They provide very detailed descriptions and instructions with their seeds, have a great website that's easy to order from, and best of all, they're in Decorah, Iowa.

Tomorrow, seed blockers.

I laid the seeds out by type on the dining room table.

Then I made a 20-page chart including each item, putting to good use both my OCD and my abundant free time.
