So being snowed in for the 4th day in a row. Not only do I have a bad case of Cabin fever,but my spring fever is now in high gear. I have planted a couple more seeds so far today. I just planted wonderberry aka sunberry. I am really looking forward to these. My snow pea, brussal sprout and cabbage babies are all doing well. Trinity is having a ball talking to them and noticing that they REALLY do grow bigger and faster after hearing kind words spoken to them :-) I am enjoying listening to some of my yoga meditation music while typing, its calming my nerves perfectly. after a little while I am going to plant some tomato's and herbs. I am so excited to be trying so many different heirlooms this year. I have been having a ball trading and talking to people on www.idigmygarden.com . everyone so far has been awesome! Trinity and I are even going to participate on the 1st ever kids train!! How cool is that. If you are interested in getting into some really great heirloom seeds, I highly recommend going to Baker Creeks website which is www.rareseeds.com I have had the best experience with them so far. and there catalog is absolutely beautiful. Its really hard to stick within your budget because you want to try everything. But that's were the trading seeds comes in really handy :-) This year I am growing seedlings not only for myself, but for my mother and my in home health care clients aswell. The tomatos that I am going to start today are Kelloggs breakfast which is a beefsteak tomato, Fox cherry tomatos and black oxhearts. I am waiting on some pinnapple tomatos, cherokee purples and a few others to still come in.
