Today I finally did about 1/2 our seed order. Admittedly it is a little late, greens can be planted already (and have been with last year's seed) indoors (yea! south facing windows!) Not only that but a few of our personal selections were sold out for the season. That will teach me to procrastinate (or not)

Seed shopping online was great! I had my list and had websites open from 5 seed companies whose catalogs we have been perusing for the last 4 months. I went through our list, occasionally asking Hubby's opinion, adding items to each cart. I have always preferred the printed page to other options (no Kindle for me) However this was the best of both worlds. A winter of leafing through the beautiful photographs with a pad of graph paper and a pencil, then comparing the difference between items grown by different companies (i.e. triamble squash & triamble squash)

Today I ordered from these 2 companies. We definitely lean towards open pollinated &/or heirloom. Although mostly on principle since we have not yet tried to save seed from year to year.
