Seeds y'all!

Seeds y'all!

It took me a day and a half but I entered all my seeds into a list on my computer. I have over five hundred varieties, mostly food crops but lots of other things as well.

This is in support of a #SeedLibrary and to help with planning for Spring.

Like I said, the idea is to set up a seed library to help other people get their own ecologically harmonious garden going.

I'm going to plant out as many varieties as practical and see what grows well in my particular climate, but also grow others in greenhouses to get more seeds.

Sometime soon I'll post the list to Ariadne Systems' blog (which is under construction.)
