Getting ready for Spring, Seed Catalogs are In!

  Well, its time to start planning the early growing season. Seed catalogs are now available! There are two companies that we use. One is "Local" (Missouri) the other is Western. We like Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds and The Seed Savers Exchange.
 Both companies have an Excellent product. This year we are going to purchase The Heritage Farm Favorite collection from Seed savers. Its $13.50 for 6 Vegetable varieties: Beets, cucumbers, carrots, Dragons tongue beans, Tomato, and a lettuce mix. From Baker creek we are ordering  the $55.00 seed collection . This is 30 packets of seeds, that is its 15 types of veggie with 30 varieties. We are also ordering the $ $99.00 seed collection. Its a little bigger with 25 types of veggie and 60 varieties. It contains 60 packets of seeds. Our plan is to use some of the seeds, save the rest. I am going to double our growing area this spring, plus my wife Heathers uncle Ernie is putting in a Large garden. Some seeds will go to him, but he is most likely growing hybrids this year. When the packages show up I'll post the pictures.
