kwoo's Journal: Seeds, seeds, and more seeds!

Ellen and I just got finished picking out the seven varieties of tomatoes we will order from Salt Spring Seeds this year. Combine that with thirteen other things (including oats, barley, wheat, and tobacco), and it'll be quite an order. We're waiting on a similarly-sized order from an organic seed source in the USA, too.

The Italian beans I planted to test for seed viability are thriving! One of the plants has grown almost an inch today. I am thoroughly amazed, and realizing I'll have to move those plants outside in a couple of weeks if they keep that up. I need to look into building a cold-frame in the back yard.

Speaking of the back yard, I'll be building the compost bin tomorrow, unless the weather sucks. It will be nice to start composting now so we have some good dirt for next season.
