Ahhh that time of year again.  After weeks of perusing all those lovely seed catalogs, decisions have been made, seeds chosen, and orders placed!  All is good!  So, as usual, I’ll be listing this year’s garden contenders… why? because invariably I lose my paper with them all listed and can’t remember!  It’s true! 

This year most all of our seeds are coming from Bakers Creek, the same company that we used for most of our seeds last year.  We have a good many seeds that we saved from last year so I’ll post them later as we plant them as I can’t even remember what we have exactly!!  But here’s what I recently ordered:
