More Seeds Arrived

Winter can be so much fun for the gardener.  No beds to weed, no soil to haul, no rows to water.  Just contemplating the upcoming spring and planning our garden layout.  Today our latest seed order arrived.  We typically place a seed order in the winter to use in the following year's garden, which means that these new seeds may be planted 12 to 18 months from now.  I know some people have trouble storing seeds that long, but we haven't ever had much of a problem storing seeds at room temperature for a year.  We keep them in a drawer that is dark and safe from rodents.  My reason for ordering seeds a year in advance is so we are less affected in the unlikely event that seeds become unavailable.

We like the catalog and selection of
heirloom seeds from Johnny's Seeds.
