Seed Hunt 2014.

So I have been making our seed list and checking it twice since the Christmas holidays. So many magazines and catalogs from different seed companies have arrived in the mail... It is so hard to choose what to buy since there are so many choices! I finally made my first order through the one company we purchased from last year. And it was like Christmas all over when the boxes arrived earlier in January.



Of course, one thing we have learned is that most of the big seed companies do not sell the more "southern" veggie seeds... those will have to be purchased locally. And since our local feed-n-seed store closed back in October, we are on the hunt for local stuff.


Fortunately, we were introduced to a feed store about 12 miles south of our farm that focuses a lot on chicken stuff, but also carries seeds.... so I managed to score a few seed types from them a week or so ago. We still need a few more, but we have our early seeds to plant indoors for now. The others will be direct seeded later in the Spring so we have some time to find them.
