Your 2025 Garden

My Seed Savers catalog arrived, woo!

Forecast last night was for frost, so I covered some of my plants, including the raised bed that still has lettuce growing in it.

We didn't quite get there, about 36°F, but I expect we'll have a true freeze in the next week or so.

I was hoping to get something done outside today, but it's still pretty chilly and windy, brr.

I got Seed Savers yesterday and Pinetree Garden Seeds too!

I got my Seed Savers catalog too! If you don't see a variety you want in the catalog, check their website.

I'm planning to order from them and Sow True Seeds. STS is in Asheville, NC and got caught in the Helene mess. They sent out an email saying that they were out of commission, but they definitely would be back (and are now, I think). They said if anyone wanted to help them, that buying a gift card would keep their cash flow flowing. So I did.

I have spotted a couple of new tomato varieties that I would like to try as they are supposed to be highly disease resistant and still taste good. There is only one way to find out.

After Thanksgiving, I'm going to inventory my seeds and start thinking about stuff to order for next year. I can't fall down that rabbit hole right now; too much stuff to do this week.

I'm still planning on replacing a lot of the vegetable garden with berry plants. Primarily brambles. I can barter with some of those for the things at the farmers market that I cannot grow well without a lot of raised beds. I traded a basket of okra for a basket of fresh peaches. That was a win win for both of us.

When my marigolds freeze, my gardens are over for the year.

Thinking about 2025...
