The seeds have all been planted. I disregarded the directions for how soon to sow the seeds. I need greenery and I need it now. Before I receievd my new seeds I was impatient and searched through old packets of seeds and started: Sugar Sweetie tomatoes, along with Pumpkins and Walla Walla Onions purchased at the organic grocery store last year (or longer?)Then my exciting package from Seed Savers Exchange came and everything was started last night. The seed type is all new to me, all heirloom. But the corn, gourds, watermelons, and bell peppers are a totally new thing for me. Ususally I only plant tomatoes and cucumbers and even then the dogs get a hold of everything. I made the mistake of teaching the smart one to pull pea pods off the vine. Last year I sectioned off a part of the back yard for the garden. It was great, except I located it under a huge maple tree and right next to a 6 foot fence. So lack of sun was an issue. This year I will relocate to another part of the yard, a sunnier spot.
My future harvest:Bushy Cucumber
Sutton's Harbinger Pea
Miniature Yellow Bell Pepper
Grandma Einck's Dill

Did I mention my back yard is about 20 feet by 20 feet and I have 3 large dogs?
