Wow. How did it get to be February so fast?

Ok, so...I haven't posted a thing since November.  Basically, after getting stuff sort of put away for winter, I've moved on to other things.

Now, it is time to start seeds!  Yay!  Gardening season will be here before I know it.

Yesterday Rachel and I took a trip up to Richters and picked up way too many seeds. Then, when I got home, I ordered the rest of the seeds from them that I had forgotten while I was up there.

I'm indulging myself this year.  I'm putting in lots of herbs and we're going with organic and heirloom seeds for the vegetables and fruits as much as possible.

Here is what I ordered from Richters.

Catnip
Wheatgrass
Rosemary - Santolina
Garden Sage
Lime Basil
Lemon Basil

Santo Cilantro
Genovese Basil
Greek Oregano
Romanesco Basil
Rosie Basil
Sweetie Tomatoes
Beefsteak Tomatoes
Red Currant Tomatoes
Lilliput Tomatoes
Golden Detroit Beets
Sugar Beets
Bloomdale Spinach
Mini Bell Peppers (Bitesize!)
Calendula
California Wonder Bell Peppers
Muncher Cucumbers
Cayenne Peppers
Pumpkin - Max (for Rachel)
Carrots - Nantes, Rainbow Blend and Parisian

I started most of them, except for the carrots and lettuce.  Also, I started some flowers.
Delphiniums
Pansy
Hollyhock

I wish I had another lightbox and tray. :)
