Last evening we drove to the small, family-owned farm and feed store where we usually buy our garden seeds. It's such a neat little place - filled with seeds, herbs, bags of onion sets, books, and a big bucket of peanuts for you to shell and eat while you wait your turn.
Our list included food for the body AND for the soul:
* snap and sugar peas
* string beans
* sweet corn
* onion sprouts (for salads)
* lettuce - buttercrunch and leaf
* red onion seedlings and yellow onion sets
* Red Pontiac potatoes
* sunflowers - big ones to decorate the garden and small ones for bouquets
* wildflower seed
Today we planted our potatoes, onions and lettuce. Between gardening, cleaning the house, baking apple pies, putting away ice hockey skates and snow shovels, ironing, giving Eli his piano lesson and washing snow clothes, I'd call it a pretty productive Saturday.
