Thanks for the Head’s Up on the seed supply. No dilly-dallying this season - I already ordered the basics and have seed in hand.
I’ll take what I can get for the rest of the ‘stuff’ I want, not need. ;)
I’ll re-order bare-root roses in the spring. I did have ONE casualty that I know of out of the 15 or so I planted this past season - we’ll see who makes to cut come spring and I’ll re-order accordingly. I had NO Japanese Beetle damage due to feeding them the ‘goop’ they need, 3x last season. It’s just watered in; I want as little maintenance as possible for my roses.
I also decided to do some actual bed ‘plotting’ this season, on paper and everything! I normally just wing it and usually have MORE veggies than I know what to do with, but I feel the need to do a lot of successive planting next season and make good use of every inch.
Beau has already been alerted that I will need beds lightly tilled this upcoming spring, so he needs to have the small tiller in good shape...and I saw that he moved it into the garage to work on, so at least he’s listening, LOL!
I’m up to 14 seed catalogs right now. Happy, Happy!
And, yes. It was only 56 degrees IN my old, drafty farm house. I was playing, 'Laura Ingalls Wilder' in those days; I threw another quilt and a dog on the bed that night!
