I ordered seeds today:
haricots vert, rainbow carrots, eggplants, both purple and white,
tomatoes, lovely little leaf lettuce. I
decided to minimize my stress factor by NOT growing squash and facing the
inevitable heartache of losing my
lovely squash to the evil squash vine borers as has happened nearly every year. I will buy squash this summer at the farmers
market and let others deal with the nasty insects that suck the life from the
plants. I had hoped to grow some so that I could cook the squash blossoms, and
I may yet order some summer squash seed,
there’s plenty of time. Not wanting to
completely eliminate the challenge of organic gardening in the Deep South, I
did order some tomato seeds, so that I can battle the tomato hornworms again. I
am a glutton for punishment, it seems.
At any rate, the order is now on its way and the seeds
should be here soon. So while the temperature tonight is already in the twenties here and the cold winds, gray skies and frigid winter
weather may be here to stay a while, I shall escape them
temporarily by dreaming of spring and lovely warm sunny days as I start preparing my seed box set-up in the
greenhouse.
