Journal :
So I am going to take th extra effort today to tell you about my order from RH Shumways.
Last year we got the catalog twice , but the children promptky tore them up , and then I finally salvaged one , and it was held togather with packing tape. I really wish they made their catalog in both the novelty size , and in a sturdy size. I would gladly pay a little a 1$ for a sturdy Shumways catalog.

There is an old timey feel about the catalog , and its super low prices and its illustrated nature that lead to fancy thoughts. I had a whole plan for shumways since last year , but it was a late came just a tad too late for us. I had already invested in The Master Gardeners Heirloom Box Set from abceeds.com

I had some nasturtiums from them on back order , that I am still waiting on. But back to my Shumways Order. I picked up 3 varieties of nasturtium from them. I really am looking forward to the nasturtiums. I like their cress leaves , and I absolutely LOVE their little orchid like blossoms.

I also ordered some leeks that should arrive in the spring as well as parsnip and luffa seeds.
I have so many seeds to plant this year , and I have so much space for it all the same. I am excited like a child in a candy store !! :) So very Excited. I know that I will need to mark an prepare to save seed on each plant and I have that well planned indeed. Hopefully I will be successful. There will be so many varieties. I have been thinking on making some type of marker device to keep track if what I have planted where. :) Give Me time , I will figure it out.

Ps the schumways was sent in before a set date , so I also received a number of free experimental variety vegetable garden packets as well :)

Journal :
The stupid snow has started up again , the cats keep having brawls under the house , My back order from abceeds should be on its way , the main order from rh shumway along with their free vegetable garden seeds came. The leek sets should be here in season.

Brought on a photo from the kitchen garden (terrarium) after I cleaned the sides.
