Seed list

We are thinking ahead to spring and to what we are going to plant. We came up with a game plan: Spring--Early (March-April) 50' double row snow peas, 50' double row snap peas, 25' carrots, 10' radish, 10'spring onion, 20' red cabbage, 10' Nappa cabbage, 40' Pac choi, 40 kohlrabi, 100' potato (dark red Norland); Spring Late (May-June) 20' Brussels sprouts, 25' parsnip, 25' endive, 10' fennel, 50' onion, 100' potato (kennebek), 25' Leek, 25' sweet potato; Mid (June) 60' bean (snap), 30x100 corn, 3 plants summer squash, 3 plants zucchini, 3 plants patty pan, 10 plants pepper, 10 plants eggplant, 35 tomato plants, 10 cantaloupe, 10 hill watermelon, 25' cucumber, 25' carrot. Late (July, Aug, Sept) 15 Hill winter squash 20 broccoli 20 cauliflower 25' rutabega 25' turnip 25' carrot 40' beet 25' kale 20 plants cabbage 60' shell beans pumpkin We haven't ordered anything yet, most of the stuff we already have. But we were going to give Fedco a try this year. Last year we ordered most of our seeds from Johnny's or Seed Savers, which both were very good (I tended to like Johnny's a little better). We got a plethera of catalogs this year, so Pat did a lot of comparison shopping, and decided that, price-wise, Fedco was the best bargain. Fedco seems like a very small company, kind of the underdog. I normally root for the underdog. So we are going to try them out this year and see how it goes.
