Winter Break To Do List

1. Plant peas in a container teepee.

3. Clean front beds.
4. Build new raised bed.
5. Dig out small bed to put in better dirt.

Pinetree Order

A couple of weeks ago I finally made my Pinetree Garden Seeds order. Here is the list:

• Early carrots (mokum)
• Main carrots (red cored chantennay) - These should be pretty.
• Celery (Utah 52-70)
• Chard (rhubarb)
• Cantaloupe (honey rock)
• Honey dew (creme de menthe)
• Carnival squash
• Tomato (brandywine)
• Tomato (roma)
• Cilantro (delfino)
• Chili pepper (anaheim)
• Cabbage (Danish ballhead)
  
• Calendula (Pacific beauty mix)
• Potatoes (red gold) - I got 2 1/2 pounds of a hybrid between red potatoes and Yukon gold.

I have enough seeds of everything else I'm going to plant, I think. I'm really looking forward to growing my own potatoes as I'm learning more and more about it being one of the most important vegies to eat organically. It will also be interesting to try to grow tomatoes from seed this year. I will probably buy a few other varieties in plant form as well.

This weekend is our winter break, so I will hopefully be planting peas, spinach, lettuce, and some other greens. My beds still have a lot of cleaning up that is needed as well.
