I hope my thumb gets greener!

Seed to Seed: Seed Saving and Growing Techniques for Vegetable Gardeners Today, I went online at Amazon and purchased the book, Seed to Seed: Seed Saving and Growing Techniques for Vegetable Gardeners. (Amazon affiliate link. I receive a small commission at no extra charge to you.)

This is all very new to me - propagating and saving seeds from home-grown garden veggies. I've always considered myself a modest gardener, so any and all information is very very helpful!

Last night, I went online and ordered several heirloom vegetable seeds. I DO plan to share my seeds with family and friends. This is what I ordered:

2 varieties of green beans
3 varieties of bell peppers (red, yellow, green)
3 varieties of tomatoes (2 red, 1 orange)
1 red hot serrano pepper
1 cucumber
1 zucchini
several varieties of lettuce (tossed in free with order)



This picture is for Aunt Patty... Pamela wanted to show her the quilt she had made for her doll, completely handsewn. If you look closely, you can see that the quilt was made from the scraps of her pioneer dress/pinafore (pictured above in the new blog heading.)

This is her first quilt, and she plans to make another one for her other American Girl doll. What fun!!!

Tell Pamela I am very proud of her! By the way, where did you get the pinafore pattern?

I have been browsing online more than 4 hours today, yet I
never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth
enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as
you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.

Hiya! I know this is kinda off topic but I'd figured I'd ask.
Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa?
My website covers a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other.
If you're interested feel free to send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!
Wonderful blog by the way!

After I originally commented I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and
from now on whenever a comment is added I receive four emails with
the exact same comment. Perhaps there is an easy method you are
able to remove me from that service? Thanks a lot!
