Here is a photo of our seeds today before we began transplanting the tomatoes.
The seeds we ordered arrived a few days ago. We ordered about a dozen different varieties. The ones in the picture are what we started today:
- "Yellow Pear" Cherry Tomatoes
- "Green Globe" Artichokes
- "Copra" Onions
- Gypsy Peppers
- Asparagus
- Jalapeno Peppers
- Italian Alpine Strawberries
Basically we are following the advice of "The Maritime Northwest Garden Guide" by the Seattle Tilth organization. I have decided to go organic or bust. No chemical fertilizers or pest control. So, we'll see if we are up to the challenge. From my point of view, besides not wanting to eat chemicals, the garden will be much more educational and interesting if we don't nuke everything.
I decided a few weeks ago that it would be fun to grow some vegetables... I ordered a bunch of seeds. While I wait for them to arrive I hung some shop lights over a seed tray in my basement. Nothing but light, soil, and water so far.
Stay tuned...
