I placed my final seed order from Seed Savers Exchange last week and it arrived yesterday. I must say that I am very happy with their service and the quality of their products. So here is what I ordered: the peppers are Purple Beauty Bells, Orange Bells, King of the North, Bulgarian Carrot, and Tolli's Sweet Italians. I also ordered two types of lettuce: Forellenschuss, and Rossa De Trento. In addition, I ordered Dragon carrots, Rosa Bianca eggplant, Nyagous tomatoes, Hill Country Red okra, Purple tomatillos, Purple Podded Pole beans, and A & C Pickling cukes.Yesterday I ordered my onions from Dixondale Farms. I ordered Candy Apples, Candy, and a variety pack that contains Copra, Red Zeppelin and Sterling. Now, I believe all that is left to order are the potato starts and I will probably get to that those weekend.
Now it is time to get busy and fire up that greenhouse...woot!
oh you....seed love...me too

sweet gardening dreams, my friend,
kary
Thanks Kary...enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice selection! I just ordered more seeds a few days ago on ebay, I think I need rehab ;) I've grown King of the North, Dragon carrots, Rosa Bianca eggplant & Purple Podded Pole beans, they are all excellent. I was eyeing those okra this year but had to resist because I am all out of space. I wish I could order starts from Dixondale, unfortunately they do not ship cross border. Onions are such a pain to start from seed...
ReplyDeleteThanks Dan...The ones you mention are some I haven't tried yet so I am glad you give them a good review....I could not resist the okra...I love the looks of them. Too bad they don't ship the onions across the border... :(
ReplyDeleteSounds like some great seeds. The Bulgarian Carrot Pepper, Dragon Carrot and Nyagous Tomato are on my wish list for next year so I will look forward to hearing how they do in your garden.
ReplyDeleteI tell myself that I have placed my last seed order but I'm still eyeing a few more things. It's hard to stop.
Chris: I will definitely give an update on those this summer. It is hard to stop.....especially when I keep perusing the seed catalogs and seed racks :)
