I just bought my seeds for this year. You seem to have a great diversity whereas mine go like this: Sweet Corn, Lettuce, Sweet Corn, Cilantro, Sweet Corn, Sweet Corn, Sweet Corn. I can't get enough corn! Anyway. Good luck and make sure to post when you plant what for those of us who need the know-how. ps thanks for getting my back on that thread over at you know where... even if it has been silenced "for the last time!"

That's a great bit of info about the planting dates, and I love the snack ideas. Kathy, my recommendation for finding seeds is to try to find a local grower. For instance, a lot of these seeds that I got are from Territorial Seed Co, which is based in Oregon in the same climate as me. So the seeds are harvested from plants that were doing well in this climate. Most of the big seed companies are from the Midwest or back East, so their plants are bred for entirely different conditions than the climate in your back yard. I think that makes a big difference in the success of growing things from seed. I'll be excited to hear how it goes! Thanks everyone!

My grandpa used to grow it in his garden and I thought it tasted great. It's a crispy, crunchity mustard family vegetable. I always liked to eat it sliced up with peanut butter. Jonathan Hi DeAnna,

I am going to be looking for seeds this year too, as I just put up a greenhouse, and will be starting things from seed rather than buying them at the local nursery. Lots to learn. It will be fun. You did great with the stuff you got. --Kathy Wow, DeAnna… exciting!
