The fence is up around the garden plot, and yesterday, I went to the nursery. I needed to buy all my stuff for this year at one time because I had a terrific 20% off coupon!  I'm so excited!

I got most of what I needed. It's too late for strawberries and they were completely out of seed potatoes. Some of the other things, I didn't get exactly the variety of plant that I had originally intended, but what I did get should work just fine. I was actually pretty pleased by the selection, despite the late date.

I bought:

Vegetable starts: 2 grape tomato, 21 sauce tomato, 4 cucumber (I haven't grown cukes before), 16 bell pepper, 4 jalapeno pepper, and 44 broccoli (I wanted more, but that was all they had left).

Herbs (in 3.5-inch pots): 2 English thyme, 2 Greek oregano, 2 Genovese basil, 1 BBQ rosemary, 1 Arp rosemary, 1 Tricolor sage, 1 Berggarten sage, and 1 dill. Herbs are all new to my garden, but I have a nice area set aside for the perennials.

Seeds: corn, shelling peas, green onion, and parsnips. I have plenty of other seeds left over.

Oops and two blueberry bushes - sorry about that, honey, someone must have slipped those into my cart...but since they're here, would you mind digging holes and planting them?

Now...to get them, and all the other seeds into the ground.

Oooh what fun you're going to have! I *love* playing in the dirt, and it sounds like you do, too.

I'll be checking back, as I am so anxious to hear about that broccolli. I have never tried that before. (Not like I am some kind of experienced gardener.LOL)

I so hope you'll have wonderful planting weather!

Blessings,

Julie
