I Just Ordered Garden Stuff

Because it suddenly occurred to me that this is the last week of March, and I should be thinking about what I want to put in the ground. Not actually doing it yet, mind you. For pete's sake, our last frost date is June friggin' 18, but I should at least be thinking about it. And ordering things before they run out.

I may have screwed myself with the tomato plants. The earliest I can get them is the beginning of May. And that may be too, too late to get them to turn when they start bearing. Except for the Koralik cherry tomato (a Russian heirloom that produces the yummiest cherry tomatoes I have ever tasted), I don't seem to be able to get my tomatoes to turn regardless. Anyone local(ish) have any suggestions?

But I've ordered two kinds of carrot seeds and some cukes and a bunch of different sunflowers and borage seeds and swiss chard seeds and snap peas and radish seeds. (Dammit! I forgot scallions.)

And I ordered some bulbs and bare root plants for one of our front beds. It's already got red perennial tulips and (though they don't seem to be coming up this year) 50 yellow daffs of the big, cool kind. And now it will have two kinds of daylily (one bright orange and one almost black) and a blue, blue iris and white delphinia, campanula and gladioli. Three of each except for the glads. I got 12 of those.

Also, a bunch of different wildflower seeds for the bed outside my office and to sprinkle 'mongst the sunflowers.

Rubbing my hands together with anticipatory glee...
