Seeds

We went to the seed store today to get plot supplies.  It's been absolutely stunning weather here for a few days and the time to get seeds in the ground is most definitely now.  We might have gone a little overboard, but seeds are cheap and there were so many appealing ones.  

We've got "North Holland Bloodred Redmate" and "Tokyo long white bunching" onions, arugula, "Long White Icicle" and "Early Scarlet Globe" radish, "Improved Tendergreen Bush" beans, some fresh mesclun mix and an optimistic "Early One" broccoli.  No beets or peas or potatoes this year, most likely.  They didn't have seed potatoes of the kind we like best.  We've never had luck with peas (or anything that needs staking, actually ... it's just not our way).  The beets I may miss, but I think this year, I'll just buy lots at the market and let them use their garden space.  We'll plant radishes instead.

 The lettuce we planted a while ago has come up in a few sad sprouts but the onions are non-starters.  Too bad. 

 

I am not sure when we'll take the time to put these seeds in.  Soon, I hope.
