Seed Purchase
I did some impromptu seed shopping today - the word impromptu will hopefully not be making too many appearances in my garden planning notes. However here's the damage:Sweet Peas - Spencer Giant Mixture - Climbing Vine
Snow Peas - Edible
Mesclun mix
Green Onions
Carrot - Berlikum
Radish - Scarlet Globe
Bean - Bush Contender - apparently a short season variety
Nasturtium - Jewel Mixed
Basil Mixture - Seed tape variety
I can't even speak about the seed tape - it's a little silly, but imagine if it turns out to be the best thing ever? I'm going to plant some everywhere and see where they do best. I didn't have a tremendous amount of luck with the Basil last year. I'm definitely hitting the basil with soapy water hard in the beginning, and putting my beery bug traps out like last year. And I think I will still buy some pre-started also, just in case. If all goes well it will be the summer of Pesto.
I'll post some pics later when I have actually done something more than buying the makings of a garden.So it begins.

I'm interested in the basil, and in the sweet pea type...where did you get them?

Shamefully, I got them all at the Home Depot. I should have waited and got them at Southview, but I got the itch and I couldn't resist. From what my mom tells me the Sweet Peas and the Snow Peas can go in the ground anytime now. I'm going to put mine in on the weekend. Soak them the night before for best results.
