Shopping Spree!
Like a little kid flipping through the Toys R’ Us catalog, I spent the past 2 weeks perusing a vibrant selection of vegetable seeds on the Johnny’s Seeds website. After adding every vegetable - in every imaginable color - into my virtual shopping cart, I finally narrowed down my choices to ONLY 8 varieties. And I am super excited to get them all started!
For a whopping $39.60 I will now be the overseer (read: HBIC) to thousands of plants-to-be. I can’t wait to take pictures of their growth over time.
Without further ado, here is my spring/summer line-up:
- Italian Large Leaf Basil
- Red Choi (that’s red bokchoy; $8 for 6,000 seeds)
- Cherokee Purple Heirloom Tomatoes
- Monica Tomatoes (great for sauces)
- Touchstone Gold Beets
- Red Ace Beets
- Sienna Shelling Peas
- D’Avignon Radishes (the long French kind)
Oh, happiness is a colorful bouquet of farm-fresh veggies. Hmmm… I might be onto something here.. :)
