Started a third pot of indoor lettuce this morning. Then I got out the Pinetree catalog and made my seed order.
I have a lot of trouble with the tomato page.
I want to buy them ALL!.
Weeded my lustful list down to five varieties, Cluster Grande, which was far and away our best performer this year, Better Boy, which is a trustworthy standby, and Rutgers, Oregon Spring and Country Taste for new ones. Last year I grew Jelly Bean, which although prolific didn't taste good enough to be worth the bother, and Princepe Borghese, a drying tomato, which does indeed dry very well, but isn't very productive. I won't grow Jelly Bean again, but still have seed for PB. I will probably plant a couple just because they do dry so nicely. Grape tomatoes volunteer so well that I don't bother to plant any, but I really like them a lot and if they die out I will get more seed.
Bought the usual lettuce mix, a sweet pepper mix to try, rainbow carrots, which we have really liked the past two years, sweet meat squash because Nita likes it, greyzini because it did well this year and a few other odds and ends including aloe mix. I love aloes and growing them from seed sounds like a fun challenge. It drove me nuts looking at the catalog. I itch to garden like somebody with a three year case of hives and poison ivy. Gonna be a long, long winter I guess.....maybe I can find some geranium seed besides the usual multibloom and have some fun....
