Big Heirloom Seed Win

I won an awesome giveaway for heirloom seeds! I received the seed stash today, and can I just say WOW! Look at this haul:


Now just because I don't think that you can really appreciate from that image just how many packets there are, here they are.


There's pumpkin and eggplant and flowers...


...various kinds of peppers and some peas...


...okra, corn and tomato...



...all kinds of lettuce, including one called "Drunken Woman"...


...and tons of beans.












Is that an awesome haul, or what? I can't wait to try my hand at growing some of these puppies come fall/spring. Maybe I can try some beans this summer.

Thanks again to Tina of the Victory Garden!

Trying to avoid Monsanto seeds? Good luck...

I was checking out Freedom Gardens network, and came across a discussion about Monsanto, which I posted about earlier. They have found that there are a LOT of Monsanto seeds out there being sold under names you are familiar with, like Cook's, Burpee and Spring Hill's.

If you are avoiding Monsanto seeds, you may want to stick with purchasing seeds through Seed Saver's, Seed's of Change or other seed-saving networks.
