They’re here!

I got my first seed order in the mail last night! It was an exciting moment, especially since it was from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. I thought I'd get seeds from Tomato Growers Supply and Park Seed first, since I ordered from both of those companies three days before I sent in my order to Baker.

Yes, I ordered a lot of seeds. Lynn Lickers reminded me I don't have 20 acres in Loma and don't have enough room for that many plants. Details, schmetails... I'll find room for the Kazakh melons and the rat's tail radish. I will purchase even more seeds from Bookcliff Gardens, as well, in a show of support to local business. Who needs lawn???

Northeast Christian Church is planning on sponsoring a community garden in the lot adjacent to the building (it's at 27 1/2 and Patterson). I'll be the contact person for the garden, so of course I'll have a plot there. It gives me a 20X20 plot, in addition to the ones in my yard. Of course I'll have room for all that squash, eggplant, melons and peppers.
The church will publicize more as we get details worked out and work dates in place, but if you know anyone or are interested in a community garden plot at Northeast church, please contact me.
