We haven't even hit the middle of winter yet and look what I've been doing..... ordering my seeds for Spring. They arrived in a little brown envelope yesterday and it's so exciting looking at those little green and white packages and realizing that it's going to feed my family for next year. I have some more heritage seeds coming from another seed store in a few days.

The children wanted to choose 2 varieties each that they can plant. Both Hugh and Meredith picked the giant pumpkin, and Hugh chose a small onion, and Meredith a Watermelon - never tried growing one of those before, so it will be interesting to see what we get.

I just have to find some garlic bulbs now - they're about ready to go in - at Winter Solstice (so I've heard).

I already have plenty of bean, pea, zucchini and pumpkin seeds I saved from last summer, so I didn't have to re-order those. I'm thinking I might have to get me a glass house or a little shed for somewhere to store all my seedlings once we get closer to Spring.
