Eeeeeeeeee! Seeeeeds!

That was the noise I (unfortunately) made yesterday evening when Adam told me I had an Exciting Package. Very excited to receive our first ever seeds from our first ever seed catalogue order. Thank you Mr Thompson and Mr Morgan, whoever you are. And now we just have to work out where (and when) we’re going to plant the leeks, green beans, butternut squash, swiss chard, multicoloured radishes and Brussels sprouts, whose seeds we are shaking in their packets, full of the promise of vegetabley goodness. And we’ve still got so much more to sort out before spring arrives… good ol' courgettes – yellow ones too – tomatoes, peas, and mange tout, broad beans, runner beans, different varieties of squashes (squashes? or just squash... why are they called squash?...). I want multicoloured carrots, parsnips and swedes as well, and possibly lettuce as a sort of catch-crop. Not forgetting the wonderful sweet sweet sweet sweetcorn which was amazing last year, even with all the rain and not much sun.

So much to do!
