2011 Gardening Season!

I have months to write something here and the gardening season for 2011 just started for me. February was the month of seed madness. I send many heirloom seeds to friends in Greece and other countries so my desk it was full with seeds, stamps and envelopes.

I also search for my new needs. I found some interesting heirloom seeds from different people and organizations and I order some seed packets. Some of them are here already and I am waiting for the rest seeds to come.

The other thing I wanted except seeds  it was plant labels. Every year I sow more seeds and I need more labels. It’s not so easy to find here plant labels so I order from uk eBay usually. This time I order 200 plant labels and I hope I will not need other plant labels next year. It’s a big cost for me with package and posting from uk. The good part is that you can use these plant labels many years. I write the varieties and dates with a pen I had for cd’s and the autumn I clean my labels easily with cheap blue alcohol.

  1. Yes, we both had the same idea today about the beginning of the gardening year! Thanks for the seeds – I’m looking forward to sowing them. I hope the tomato seeds have arrived safely.

    I think it’s normal because we share the mediterranean weather but it was funny. :)
    Yes your tomato seeds are here. I have sow the 1/3 of them before 3-4 days if I remember correct. I will sow the rest with other “new” tomato varieties (for me) in 7-10 days because I don’t want to risk the seeds. Thanks!
