Welcome!

Thanks for visiting my blog. My posts will be mainly about gardening here in beautiful Spring Valley, Minnesota! After starting gardening here in 2008, I found that I was lacking knowledge in this topic. I decided to take the core horticulture course through the University of Minnesota in the late winter and spring of 2010. As a result of this class and continued volunteer work, I am now in my second year as a Master Gardener. I am still learning and probably will be for years to come. As I research and learn about gardening topics, I will post here. I hope you will find use for this information as I post. Please feel free to contact my with questions or post your comments. Enjoy!

Seeds!

It must be late winter!  I have been going through seed catalogues and really looking forward to the spring thaw.  I also had information for the U's seed trials program and was going to sign up for that.  But as luck would have it, I got distracted by some other things and missed the deadline!  So, I will be starting only my own seeds and will be able to share with anyone in the area - I'm sure I'll have some extras.

I ordered from Burpee's in February and think I'll be ordering from Johnny Seeds soon.  My order from Burpee included the following:
Cantaloupe (Sweet N Early)
Watermelons (Georgia Rattlesnake and Carolina Cross 193)
Gourd (Orn Luffa)
Tomatoes (Brandywine, Super sweet 100 hybrid, Cherokee Purple, Tye Dye hybrid, Black Krim heirloom)
Pumpkin (Rouge VIF D'Etampes)
Squash (SuperZuke hybrid)
Cabbage (Salad Delight)
Celery (Tall Utah 52)
Eggplant (long purple)
Lettuce (Iceburg A for Joe)
Pepper (Sweet Maxibelle)


My order from Johnny Seeds will probably be mostly herbs, as I am considering moving and expanding my herb garden.
