I'm thinking about having a salsa garden, but we'll see.<BR/><BR/>PS- awesome site mentioned above, thank you Jodi!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589417546169672371.post-85442679810572892362009-03-20T13:07:00.000-05:002009-03-20T13:07:00.000-05:00From an almost Madisonian (in Sauk City) to anothe...From an almost Madisonian (in Sauk City) to another, Happy Spring!! <BR/><BR/>I'm a lifelong gardener and while I don't want to burden you with too much advice, I do want to mention something that I found helpful this year. Instead of starting my heirloom tomatoes and peppers by seed in the house (where the cats try to get them) or buying them at the farmer's market for $5/pound, I found out that seedsavers.org sells transplants ($3) and they are grown in Spring Green. You can select the delivery date. (I chose the latest one to be on the safe side, near the end of May.) I figure that the plants should be in good shape since they aren't traveling very far. <BR/><BR/>Another thing that I ordered from seedsavers.org, although on backorder at the moment, is Tom Thumb peas which are more of a bush pea as opposed to a vine. It says that they can also be grown indoors. Mmmmm, fresh peas year-round. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
