Seeds…. Glorious Seeds!

Yes…… It is finally here !! Now is the time to start organizing what seeds you would like to order for your 2012 vegetable garden.

So what do I want to order?  There are two types; Seeds that you want to direct sow into the ground and those you want to start indoors. I will spend time on starting your warm weather vegetables ( tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, etc.)  indoors, later in the month.

For direct seeding, think of all of the various lettuce varieties, ( including spinach)  snap peas. beets carrots,  beans. cucumber and radish. ( among others) to purchase.

Here are a few companies I like to order from. You can request a catalog or go online and review. Try not to be overwhelmed about all the different varieties. Look for organic, and disease resistant. read about the color, size and days to harvest to determine the ones to experiment with.

Territorial Seeds ( my favorite) , Totally Tomatoes, Seeds of Change, High Mowing Seeds, and Johnny Seeds

For those of you who are thinking about getting some Asparagus, and Various Berries  to plant,  ( which remember are perennials,)  I like to order from Indiana Berry Company. Although you won’t plant these items into the ground until late April, you want to reserve  for purchase. The company will send them out to you when requested.

YOU ARE OFF AND RUNNING!!!!
