Seeds Arrived


Our seeds arrived today from R.H. Shumways. My daughter and I went to the Botanical Gardens where they had a large selection of seed catelogs. R.H. Shumways old school looks caught our eye, then the 5 free pack of seeds with $20 order won us over.

Almost time to start the cold hardy spring plants either outdoors or inside for later transplant. The experimental varieties were the freebies. They didn't indicate variety name on those, only descriptions. I'm guessing they don't have names yet. Strangely, they didn't ask us to give feedback on the "experimental" varities.
