Pouring through the seed catalogs...

Working to make a realistic plan and not overdo the seed purchases...Everything looks lovely.

On the list, but not specifics yet--

Early season tomatoes in addition to some later ones--we're hoping to start these from seeds this year because it is our understanding that the blight came from the nursery tomatoes.

pickling cukes

potatoes

>>I need to do some research and we need to take some precautionary measures regarding disease with these due to last year's problems. This will include some new soil.

In self-watering containers--
bush cukes
mini eggplants
mini melons
mini bell peppers
basil

Other-
pumpkins of some sort (have a couple of different types of seeds already)
radishes
onions, particularly scallions
garlic
horseradish
thyme
broccoli--probably a couple different varieties
cauliflower
lettuce
spinach
turnips
carrots
sunflowers

snap peas
peas
peppers
---again need to do research here--we've never had good luck with peas or peppers. I'm hoping a self-watering container will help with the peppers.

flowers/herbs (some for companion planting)
borage
nasturtiums
sunflowers
poppies (a couple varieties--we love these)
hollyhock
calendula
lavender

Hoping our perennials come back strong this spring.

We also have some other things coming this spring that I ordered back in July from Raintree. I have an email in to them to confirm what's coming, because I can't remember anymore, LOL.
