You may notice that a lot of my choices are heirloom, I want to try and do some seed saving this year. A lot of my choices are organic also, although I didn't note them I suppose I could.
There are some seeds that I have left over from last year that I need to gather up also. I think I may try to winter sow some things from them. I will use those seeds instead in case things go bad so I don't waste my precious new stock!
I'm including some old garden pictures for fun (right now its under about two feet of snow!). Since these were taken I have put in a border around all of the beds with landscape timbers. I think I will let the grass grow in the paths now that there will be an edging to weed whip around. I spent a lot of time putting down cardboard and wood chips trying to smother it. I think I will just let nature takes its course with the grass from now on. Plus it did look nice having a green blanket pathway, and it also felt good on the feet. These are from the first year of my garden.
