I ordered some of the Sunchocola tomato seeds from Burpee. My oldest kid wanted some of the giant cantaloupe type melons she saw there and I added some of the sweet marigold seeds too.

Parks had 20 packets for $20 week before last and I loaded up on herb varieties then.

When your cilantro plants do bolt, be sure to save seeds from them. The flowers are loved by pollinators and the seeds, as I’m sure you know, are coriander. Once you have a supply of seeds you should be good to go with cilantro forever LOL. I have volunteers in my raised beds from cilantro I grew there 2 years ago. And cilantro is another plant that should be OK outdoors all winter in your courtyard outside of Houston. You should probably protect it some if the temps get under 20F though.

Oh, but if you’re ordering seeds someplace and see onion seeds you’d like go ahead and order them now. Save shipping, etc. Just remember that onion seeds are usually only good for one season. They don’t ‘last’ like tomato and pepper seeds do for several seasons. Might think about putting the packet in a ziploc freezer bag and freezing it until you’re ready to use them.

—BA the pedantic.
