For a minute there I thought you were describing the president's job. LOL

I ordered out of Cook's Garden last year but wasn't that impressed with it and they can get pricey.

Bakercreek is all heirlooms and no GM enhanced seeds. I like saving seeds though I just got into it. Not only do I get to keep raising what works for me but I also have seeds to trade that way.

I don't have much room at all to garden but I try to make the most of it. We live on main street in our little town. It's the county seat and we live on the busiest corner in town. I hate it. That is why I spend most of my time at the barn we rent. I gave up flowers and just grow veggies in my beds. I did great with my tomatoes last year and most of the other stuff did well too. Except the broccoli. I have to try to do better with that this year.

Speaking of which, do any of you know how I can make a grow light from regular lights? I would like to get my seedlings going earlier this year but I don't have the sunlight to do it.

Here is a pic of my tomato patch. I had 16 plants in there and had tons of tomatoes. I don't know how to can so I gave lots of them away. That is something else I will have to work on this year. So much to learn. My Mom is a whizz at all that stuff but while she was canning and cooking, I was riding. Now I live 14 hours away so she can't teach me.
