HI MY NAME IS BRENDA AND I AM A PLANTAHOLIC

I can't resist a beautiful food plant when i see one.

OK so I just need to stay out of the stores until like December !!

I also bought about a dozen more packets of seeds..on top of the several dozen i already have ....good grief

It's OK, this is normal around here.

For plant markers, vinyl mini blinds do the job nicely. I just this moment grabbed one out of the neighbors garbage. Old tenant moved out, they are cleaning up the place. Cut them with scissors any length you like. I use a chop saw, gets the job done in a flash.

I dropped a couple hundred bucks on seeds. Stores carry them seasonally around here, stop selling them in about another month. I grabbed one of everything, handy to have around if I need them. Have a bunch of bags to go through to clean the OP seed saved from prior seasons. They get planted first.

yeah our stores aren't very good at carrying open pollinate or heirloom seeds, i do have some, and some of my tender crops are op..but a lot of my seeds are not..which is disappoiniting..i have to buy them mail order..

i still hope to get some grain seeds..but maybe i'm a little late this year..maybe next year.

i'm having a $ problem right now..not enough to sprea around

Have you determined what type of bug, with no natural predators in this part of the world, was imported with the plants?
