What are the veggies/fruits that will be planted: Well, apparently, I have a seed buying addiction, so we have lots of stuff coming! (including 8,355 flowers seeds...that number doesn't include the seeds I harvested...thousands...or the dahlia tubers that we dug..oh brother!)
Here is the list of seeds that we now have on hand, but please note that these are not guaranteed due to time/seed germination/weather/pests, etc...but we plan to have them all on hand if we can help it. (Just an example: in the past, we planted 90 roma tomato seeds and as they came up, we found that every one of them had a seed virus...mosaic tobacco...which arrived inside of the seeds so we had no hope for keeping them. Stuff like that happens as there are SO many variables out of our hands. So we destroyed those and chose to be thankful for the sungolds and brandywine heirlooms that were bomb!) Also, please note that some of the fruits will be limited and only available when they are ripe...so it'll be a fun surprise for you to find out when you arrive what will be ready for you! (examples will be plums, grapes, elderberries, etc)
