Ending and Beginning

Seeds and plants ordered so far for the 2009 vegetable garden, and a few things for the yard outside the garden. I’m gonna be working my butt off this summer.

It really strikes me how many different squashes we have, and we don’t even have any summer squash yet. We’re really going to have to have a strategy for the squash bugs.

Several of the seeds/plants I ordered today were based on Sharon’s 25 Plants You Should Consider Growing, with additional input from my 4- and 6-year-olds.
