I have always loved getting seed catalogs even though I never had the garden space to order from them. Being twenty minutes from Territorial Seed has been awesome and I have already made two trips there. This year in the garden will be the following:
San Marzano Tomato
Austrian Crescent Potatoes
Calico Popcorn
Dakota Peas
Alisa Craig Onions
Globe Artichokes
Small Sugar Pumpkins
Jade Bush Beans
Tigger Melon
Regatta Spinach
Sugarsnax Carrots
Victoria Butterhead
Prado Red Sunflowers
Cherry Rose Sunflowers
Strawberries
Raspberries
My mother in law gave me a beautiful antique scale from the early 1900's when she visited last month. They have had one hanging in their laundry room for years and I have always admired it. I am going to use this to weigh everything we produce so I can get an idea of what this garden provides for our family.
My son and I had a wonderful time putting in the garden and he has his own garden to take care of. He filled it with soil and planted everything with very little help from me. He knows that he is in charge of watering and weeding and he has been very good about checking it everyday.
I will try and get some pictures this week of the completed garden. I can't wait until August when all of the beds are full and beautiful, overflowing with ripening fruit.
