Seeds Seeds Seeds

I've had a couple of people ask what I'm growing this year. This week I'm trying to really crack down on planning the vegetable beds for spring, and I've finally finished cataloguing all of the seeds that I currently have. The seeds marked with an asterisk are things I may not grow but I have seeds for them anyway from previous years.

Any seeds that say "Hybrid" next to them I most likely will be giving away. The hybrids are almost all packaged for 2010 so if anyone is interested in them let me know! I love the idea of growing the ruby red sweet corn, but it was a wimpy hybrid prone to disease and besides, I'm going fully heirloom this year.

I have a lot of sprawly squash and melons that I'm planning on, but most of them will be grown vertically or they'll be planted in small patches of gently cultivated soil and then allowed to take over the grass surrounding them.

When I discussed my every growing list of seeds with my mother tonight, she suggested an intervention to which I responded "You know if we tried to have an intervention it would just turn into a plant swap..."

Yes, I have a problem.
