Veggies and Fruit Trees and Shrooms, Oh My!

What better way to spend New Years than to complete the year's seed ordering?  We have pretty exciting plans for the garden this year so putting in this order was really special. 

Getting Close to Closing Time

It's been a lovely Tuesday!


The last couple of nights have been pretty chilly.  Thankfully it didn't frost though, we definitely weren't ready for that!  The coolness has spurred us into action and today was spent readying for the fall.

There's Seed Saving and There's Seed Saving Part तीन [teen]

It occurs to me that in my previous posts on seed saving (to be found here, and here) I was over-simplifying a bit.  When one is dealing with tomatoes, peppers and eggplants, what I wrote is right on target.  You see, all of these plants self-pollinate, so it is very common to be able to save their seeds without doing anything other than picking their fruits and following the simple steps I have outlined already.  So you can consider these plants to be the primary school of seed saving!

Now we can move on to middle school!
