It is March and I GOT MY SEEDS!


This year, together with three friends, we have ordered our seeds for the 2015 garden! I can't wait to get planting.

This year I plan to go back to just staples with one or two new things to see how they work. The new things I want to try are beans, black and pinto type beans, and some grains such as amaranth and quinoa.  I am quite excited as we have had a wicked winter full of negative temps, several days if not weeks worth of -25 to -30 degree temps. And as of this morning we received a dump of snow on top of a rain/melt period which turned everything under the snow to ice. To put my hands in beautiful, black soil right now sounds like heaven!

Which leads me to the next picture......


Some how a glitch in my Ipad ordered me 23 packages of sugar snap peas. Baker Seeds is gracious enough to take the ones I don't use back and credit me, but oh me and my technology woes. Just when I think I am bad at gardening, the universe reminds me that I am also bad at technology. Which am I the worst? I guess this season will tell.
