HOw To SEEDS OF THE MONTH


Yesterday was the arrival of more seeds from the SEEDS OF THE MONTH club.

 For this batch, I received three vegetables and an herb:

 Dill, "Mammoth Long Island"
Spinach, "Bloomsdale Long Standing"
Radish, "China Rose"
Carrot, "Chantenay Red Core"

 As always, I like to share and put these varieties out there to you all and ask for tips, suggestions.  Next Spring (or this Fall) when I plant them, I can look back on the blog and see what ideas you all had for me and put them to good use.

 Until then, I'll put them into my SEED STORAGE VAULT with all the others and await their planting time.
