Seed Exchange

Last night, Brett and I went to dinner at one of his classmate's homes. She and her husband (mainly her husband) are very much into gardening - yay! After a delicious dinner of pasta with a fresh tomato and basil sauce (using garden tomatoes I canned in the fall), we had a little seed exchange. There is so much variety in the vegetable world, we found very little overlap in what we each had to offer. Now I'll be able to plant variates I likely wouldn't have gone out and purchased myself. The first frost-free date here is May 1, so it's only a month and half or so until I'll start my indoor seedlings! If our gardens do well this year, we'll be exchanging produce somewhere down the road.

Yesterday afternoon, we also attended a class at Al's Garden Center on how to successfully start seedlings indoors. I already knew a lot of what was covered, but did learn some new things. Plus, it was good to have Brett along with me so we have the same information. We sometimes have different ideas of how something in the garden should be done. Though I'm usually right!

I'm excited to put the lessons I learned last year into use this year.

Hello, 2012

So, it's a new year...I might get back in the habit of blogging...but I might not. Stay tuned.
