If you haven't ordered your seeds yet, let me assure you, it isn't too late to do so. I haven't started my peppers or tomatoes yet so you really do have time to get those last minute orders in. This year I am trying some different colors of larkspur, an annual that has been coming back for me from seed reliably for many years now. This is the poor man's delphinium. If you have trouble with delphiniums, you might want to give it a try.
I am looking forward to trying these peppers called Ancho Gigantia. I bought my vegetable seeds from the Seed Savers Exchange this year. There are so many varieties of heirlooms it makes my head dizzy. How to choose? I have no answer to that question. Perhaps eeny meeny does it.
I was at the Home and Garden Show at the Pontiac Silverdome and attended a presentation on environmentally friendly gardening presented by the Union of Concerned Scientists. I feel pretty good about what I am doing outside. Now if I can get beyond this next snowstorm that is on the way maybe I can get outside and start planting!
