I just bought an arm load of seeds at wally-world for 3 bucks..maybe something will sprout. ha<<<
Welcome to the thread, I am so glad you joined in and hope you will continue and help us all learn.
You have had some good answers to you questions, so I will only comment on you armload of seeds.
If you bought them for 10 to 25 cents per packet, then more than likely they are the old varieties.
A few years ago, I traced down some of the varieties and they were the older types, which is exactly what I want for planting here, as the new hybrids do not take to our hot days and we cool off at night in Kingman.
So when someone says “They are the old varieties”, smile and think to yourself “But I can save most of these and grow them next year and I did not pay what you did per package”.
Yes they were 20cents each so I grabbed 2-3 packs of each. and will look for more next trip.
I'm blessed to have an elder neighbor who lays in several gardens and we have been discussing our spring plans since the first frost last fall.
Last fall we had more blueberries of late variety that were still bearing up to frost.
Quite a change from 2007 when a late freeze left us with out a single berry for the year..
kinda like Garfield the cat , better eat all the lasagna, may not be any tomorrow..relates to can, freeze and
dry-store when possible.. we are in for a rough one.
