2018 Seed Inventory

In the past I made huge, online seed orders. However, for the last few years we haven't been doing this. Instead, I've just been going to my local shops and grabbing some heirloom tomato and pepper plants and a few packages of seeds that I wanted to plant.

We have decided to put a lot of emphases, as a family project, on our garden this year. Before going online and purchasing to our hearts' content, I decided to see what we had left over from previous years. As it turns out, we have quite a lot. 

Since these are all old seeds, I'm not expecting miracles in germination. Most are from the order I made to Pinetree Garden Seeds in 2012. I was surprised to see that a few were actually from 1994. I have no idea where those came from or how they became part of my seed collection.

In addition to those pictured above, we also have a good bit of seed that we saved from heirloom tomatoes. We haven't tried to start those, so I'm interested to see how it goes.

Here's what I cataloged:

~ Beans, Lima - King of the Garden
~ Beans, Snap - Giant Stringless Bush, Kentucky Wonder Pole
~ Beets - Chioggia, Lutz Winter Keeper
~ Cauliflower - Early Snowball
~ Celery - Golden Pascal
~ Collard - Vates
~ Corn - Six Shooter, Golden Bantam
~ Cucumber - Early Cluster or Russian, Homemade Pickles
~ Eggplant - Rosa Bianca, Black Beauty
~ Flowers - Forget-Me-Not, Baby's Breath, Mammoth Sunflower, Hollyhock, Merigold, Chamomile
~ Herbs - Single Italian Plain-Leafed Parsley, Oregano, Italian Large Leaf Sweet Basil, Greek Miniature Basil, Lettuce Leaf Basil, Cilantro, Catnip, Dill
~ Parsnips - Harris Model
~ Peas - Knights, Tall Telephone
~ Peppers - Sweet Banana, Long Red Cayenne, Poblano, Anaheim Chili, Red Cherry Sweet Pepper, Marconi Red, Aconcagua, Golden Treasure
~ Pumpkin - Small Sugar
~ Spinach - Viroflay
~ Squash - Black Zucchini, Waltham Butternut, Bennings Green-Tint Pattypan, Zapallo Zucchini
~ Strawberry - Ruegen Alpine
~ Tomato - Polish Linguisa, Brandywine Red, Brandywine Black, Brandywine Yellow, Brandywine Pink, Mr. Stripey, Sugar Lump, Fireball, Aunt Ruby's German Green
~ Turnip - Purple Top White Globe
~ Watermelon - Sugar Baby

I will still need to pick up the following seeds; radish, carrots, lettuce, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, hyssop, thyme sage, rosemary, and okra. Also, I'm hoping to do potatoes, sweet potatoes and start an asparagus bed this year.

I hope your garden is coming along nicely,
Until next time,

May all your endeavors be a blessing!
