Here are the seeds that we’ve ordered from FedCo for this year:

- Patriot Shell Pea OG
- Green Arrow Shell Pea OG
- Little Leaf H-19 Pickling Cucumber OG
- Tonda di Parigi Carrot
- Atomic Red Carrot OG
- Danvers Carrot OG
- Antares Lettuce OG
- Lollo di Vino Lettuce OG
- Summer Lettuce Mix
- Winter Lettuce Mix
- Czech Black Hot Pepper OG
- Thai Hot Pepper OG
- Oregon Spring Tomato OG
- Principe Borghese Cherry Tomato OG
- Wild Bergamot

- Caribe Cilantro OG
- Bouquet Dill OG
- Greek Oregano
- Mammoth Grey Stripe Sunflower
- Plum Purple Radish
We still have pole beans, bush beans, Ireland Creek Annies, radish, spinach, pie pumpkin, cucumber, carrot, Coral shell peas, tomato, and bell pepper seeds as well. We’re picking up a couple different tomatoes this year – Oregon Spring and Principe Borghese Cherry – as the Glaciers and San Diegos didn’t seem to do too well. I’m really excited about growing bergamot, catnip, and chamomile, as it will lower our necessity to buy tea a ton, especially when you consider that we already have a surplus of mint in one herb bed.
For potatoes we decided to be a little more selective this year. Last year we bought the “classic keepers” variety pack which really helped us to take note of what does and doesn’t grow really well for us. Out of the five types we got to try, we’re ordering Kennebecs and German Butter Balls, both late varieties. We’re also going to take a stab at Rose Finn Apple, which is an early fingerling, and Red Golds, which are about a mid season potato.
I’ll update more on what the gardens will look like and such later.
