Seeds For Next Year’s Garden
Posted by admin on
Last week I sat down with the boxes of seeds {most of which I purchased at the end of summer} and went through them to see if there was anything else I thought I might want to grow in next year’s garden.
There were only a few packets I needed, so I went ahead and placed orders with both Botanical Interests {they were having a fall variety sale AND free shipping on any size order} and Baker Creek Seeds.
I ordered some of my old favorites from Botanical Interests; French breakfast radishes, parsnips {mine did so well this year!} English lavender, green onions and some sage seeds for the herb garden I plan to install next year.
And from Baker Creek I ordered my favorite beets and turnips. Also a new sunflower variety and a packet of snapdragons. I haven’t grown snappys in about 10 years so I thought they might be kind of fun to grow again {some for me, some for the bees}.
Whenever you place a seed order from Baker Creek that’s over $10 they include a free packet of seeds. This time around they sent a packet of wasabi radish seeds… which was kind of funny because I was thinking about buying a packet because my husband LOVES wasabi.
Botanical Interests always includes a free packet when you order from them too and it’s always fun to see what variety you’ll receive {usually lettuce or sunflowers}.
With our parsnips harvested {I’m leaving the 2nd row of them in the ground until Spring on the recommendation of a few of you} and freezing temperatures on the horizon, all our garden chores are done for this year.
I did have the HH grab a few of my seed starting trays from the barn though. Last year I planted my leeks and green onions a little late so this year I think I’ll start them indoors under the grow lights in early January.
If I start having garden withdrawals, I might even plant a tray basil. 
Right now though, all I want to do is sit by the fire, drink hot tea and hook a few rugs.
Winter… it’s coming. And I’m ready for it!

P.S. Have you begun to think about next year’s garden? Do you have your eye on any new seed or plant varieties?
