Getting the Itch!

Even though it still is cold out, the sun is shining, the days are getting longer, and you can just feel spring is just around the corner. I've been busy planning this year's gardens and ordering all the seed. This year I am ordering from 4 different seed companies mainly for values they offer, but also some of the companies offer different varieties then the others. This year's lucky 4 are Willhite Seed Co., Jung Seed Co., Totally Tomatoes, and Harris Seed Co.I buy alot of my bulk seed from Willhite and Harris because of their value on bulk pricing. Jung's and Totally Tomatoes are essentially the same company, but both offer a wide range of products different from each other. I usually buy all of my tomato and pepper seeds from Totally Tomatoes. That would be 11 different varieties of tomatoes and 23 varieties of peppers. I can't wait! This past week I also started planting Italian Basil in flats. I hope to get some lettuce planted in flats today. If all goes well I should have some fresh lettuce and basil plants to offer at our winter market in a few weeks.
