Purchased our First Seed Packets

Today we purchased our first seed packets. It was exciting to choose all of the different vegetables we could grow. We decided to use Ed Hume seeds, mainly because he is local and the information he provides is for our area. The seeds were bought at the local hardware store after we decided we don't need to buy them online and have them shipped from somewhere farther than the hardware store. When possible we chose the organic seeds. The total cost for our initial seeds was $36.46. We are planning to track the costs of the garden along the way, including initial costs and reoccurring costs.

The vegetables we are going to plant this year are:

1. Broccoli, Calabrese Green
2. Carrot, Chantenay
3. Bean, Blue Lake Pole
4. Lettuce, Black Seeded Simpson
5. Onion, Red Globe
6. Pea, Tall Telephone
7. Squash, Vegetable Spaghetti
8. Spinach, Tyee Hybrid
9. Tomato, Stupice
10. Tomato, Sweetie
11. Tomato, San Marzano
12. Watermelon, Crimson Sweet
13. Cilantro
14. Chives
15. Parsley, Forest Green
16. Oregano, Greek
17. Pepper, Bell
18. Artichoke, Green Globe
