LOL. I’ve already placed and gotten two orders so far. Might go for another one later in the season.

I was looking specifically for very short season winter squashes. Since you’re a ‘northern’ company you guys had a lot of those. I’m going to try planting them to avoid their blooming before our last run of SVB’s of the season. We have two seasons of SVB’s, aren’t we lucky? I’m hoping with short season squashes and planting late, maybe using some frost cloth and/or plastic tarp I can extend my season and actually GET some winter squash. Last year the SVB’s got them all. btds.

I got some heirloom tomatoes too. Y’all are competitive (very) on pricing than Baker Creek for the heirlooms you have. Jere is kind of proud of some of his stuff. I get the ones I can from y’all and the rest of them from him.

BTW, you gave some VERY good advice for my lettuce growing last fall. My lettuce was absolutely gorgeous. I grew it in one of my raised beds and used 2 layers of frost cloth and plastic tarp. I had fresh lettuce till the night we got below 10. That did it in! Chickens got it after that. I’ll replant it sometime next week, have to look at the almanac (I’m one of those wackos).

Oh, and the SSE link was great. My hubby is going to hide the CC before long!

Glad you’re having so much success!

I’m planning a large salad garden for spring. Normally I just grow lettuces, but I’m going to add spinach, radishes, baby carrots, spring onions, pok choi and a few other greens I can’t think of right now.

The area where I normally grown annual herbs and edible flowers will be salad fixin’s first, then the herbs & flowers, with more salad stuff when fall rolls around again.

I’m getting excited! :)
