I have discovered a new seed company, Sweet Garden Organics! Their store is in Show Low, AZ but you can order seeds online at www.sweetgardenorganics.com. Here are some packets I bought on a recent garden tour:
Lavender: I have never tried lavender from seed, and haven't had much success with it as a transplant. I planted the seeds and am anxiously waiting for a bud.
Edamame: Edamame are replacing my row of snap peas I finally retired to the compost. They are alternated with a Bush Snap Pea from Seeds of Change.
Squash: Crookneck Squash is a favorite of mine. See the trellis I made for it below:
I took two trellises, turned them upside down and tied the top with wire. This made a night upright growing space in the middle of a bed for my squash. I don't have much vertical space in my garden so I have to be creative!
I typically never fertilize my plants with anything but my own compost, but am trying this seaweed fertilizer. You water it in, once per week. It is supposed to help the plants hold moisture - a bonus during our hot summers.
