LG  are you by any chance close to Johnnys?? THAT could be very dangerous. lol

Lovely to see that my tomatoes have germinated already and many of them are up in the flats!

Couldn't see any of the peppers up but did some exploring and found many of them are indeed sprouted, just haven't made it through the soil yet.

What a huge blessing and I thank my good, good Lord for it!!!

I bought a tomato in a 1 gallon pot and 2 bell peppers abt. month ago and they are blooming.

Transplanted some BOSS plants to a newly dug spot in the yard. Planted some store-bought multi-colored dwarf sunflower seeds and some zinnia seeds. Along with being colorful, I'm hoping my chickens like the seeds later on.

Sounds great! I am also sprouting some Boss for our chickens and rabbits.

Yes. But, even more importantly, I am near Fedco Seeds. (within 1 hour drive of both places) IMO, Johnny's has a fantastic catalog that is just chock block full of excellent reference material. But, I've seen them go too far in the direction of hybrids in the last few years. And their prices are very high. Of course you get what you pay for, and their seeds are great. I just prefer to have more OP choices.

Now, Fedco Seeds: They have fantastic prices. Their catalog is a bit hard to take sometimes with their cutesy variety descriptions. I over look that because they have EXCELLENT variety choices, wonderful seed packet size choices, and their prices are much more competitive. They also have an excellent selection of trees, bulbs and tubers for the north. However, if you plan to buy trees from them, you'd better plan to order the minute their catalog hit's your mail box. An other reason for purchasing from Fedco: They stand firm in their policies to not support GMO technology/purchase GMO exposed seeds, and have joined in litigation against Monsanto.

I found a place in Michigan that carries a large selection of Organic and Heirloom seeds. I've ordered from them for the past 4 seasons and have had a high germination rate and the seeds from those plants grew just as well the next year (so I could buy different plants). AND since I'm basically lazy and don't want to drive on my days off, I order from them.
