Seeds

We decided yesterday ... for lots of reasons ... that we would only buy necessities for the next year.  For me, that means I won't be buying any new seeds for my garden.  So last night I went on the Internet to find any listings for free seeds.  I did find one ... wintersown.org. They'll send you six packets of seeds for an SASE with two stamps.  But my wife walked up behind me as I was looking at it, and asked me if that fit into our plan.  Actually, it doesn't, because what we want to do is to use up some the stuff we have piled up in various parts of the house.  I have plenty of seeds in the garage refrigerator, and the plan requires that I use that up.  There are seeds for all kinds of lettuces that I can throw down all over the place, while I get other seeds started in boxes before planting them.  So instead of spending $100 on new seeds and plants, I'll use what I have, and I expect the garden will turn out fine. I was planning on buying some broccoli plants and tomato plants ... because the broccoli needs cool weather and tomatoes need to bear fruit before the Texas summer heat. But I can just pass on the broccoli and plant tomatoes from seed in June/July for a fall harvest.
