So, we got our seeds in the mail.  Yay!  We are looking forward to this years garden.  We plan to make it even bigger this year.  Some of the seeds that I got from Seed Savers Exchange, so far, are:

• Garden Huckleberry
• Early Snowball Cauliflower
• Golden Bantam Corn
• Clemson Spineless Okra
• Blacktail Mountain Watermelon
• Aunt Molly’s Ground Cherry
• Scarlet Nantes Carrot
• Calabresse Broccoli
• Cilantro
• Green Tomatillo
• Dwarf Gray Sugar Pea
• Golden Zucchini Squash
• Black Beauty Zucchini Squash
• Seed Savers Lettuce Mixture
• Dr. Wyches Yellow Tomato
• Kellogg’s Breakfast Tomato
• Red Brandywine Tomato
• Trucker’s Favorite Tomato
• Black Krim Tomato
• Martino’s Roma Tomato

And I couldn’t pass up getting in some Benary’s Giant Zinnia and Prairie Black-Eyed Susan seeds.  Love, love, love me some flowers.  Especially old fashioned ones.

There are lots more vegetables that we want to plant, but we will just get a few plants of each of those, such as different varieties of peppers and cherry tomatoes.  I also want to get more varieties of regular tomato seeds as well.  Six varieties just isn’t enough!  Every year we’ve also had volunteer cantaloupe pop up everywhere and I look forward to those too.  Our neighbor, who we share the garden with, is getting strawberries, sweet potatoes, pole beans and a host of other veggies as well.  I sure hope that we can keep up!
