Was really going to get this page going this year with what I was growing and canning.

Then the heart attack happened.

Oh well....hopefully next year in a new house and better kitchen!!!

So, an update to seeds:
1) Fedcoseeds.com is still my favorite by far.
2) DollarSeed.com had some great deals, and was very pleased with their products - did not, however, provide a decent deal on bean seeds, so I won't be using them again for that.
3) Artistic Gardens - great deals on herb seeds, as you don't need a ton to start a decent herb bed. Germination wasn't great on much of the seed, however, that could be my fault.
4) Seed Kingdom - Good prices, nice size seed packets - tomatoes & cukes germinated well. Much of the other seed I purchased wasn't for this year, however, I've not seen a reason to not order again.
5) Victory Seeds - prices are a little out of whack on a lot of the items, however, for corn, it's pretty spot on. I've planted corn from 2 years ago this year, and I'm still seeing 60-70% germination, so I'm pleased.

The 2 I'll try soon?
VegetableSeedWarehouse.com and HeirloomSeeds.com

Happy Planting!

New great website found. VERY fond of fedcoseeds.com, however, if you just want a few seeds? Try dollarseed.com and artisticgarden.com

Well, I was going to upload a planting calculator that I created. FB won't let me..... So, if you want it, let me know, and I'll message you one :)

Not a bad deal. I have a ton of seeds, but for 8 packs the first month, and 4 each month there after, it comes out to $1.53 a pack for non-GMO seed that you can save and plant later.

And, no, I'm not a member, but if I was to join, this would probably be the one to join.

This French gardener is inserting dormant willow whips into the ground and weaving the tops into a lattice. They will root come spring and this will become a free living fence.
