A local friend asked me if I’d grow her seeds in exchange for having a share of the plants. I didn’t have money for my own seeds and she doesn’t have time to grow hers. What a blessing for both of us! Here is the inventory.

Now the seeds above were packed for planting in 2011/12 so I don’t know how well they will do. The next seeds are priority because they were packed for 2016. I’m so excited to be able to start them and see what happens 😀

Of course the p’s are first 🙂 I totally believe in doing the work ONCE. Perennial herbs are my love. Then I’ll move to most useful in the kitchen and most known for medicinal teas and simples. I’ve already planted echinacea and mullein. The rest will go into containers. I have 44 pitcher inserts saved from our hospital time. They have plenty of root room. I’m only 5 short of all the seed samples. I wish I’d saved them from the beginning. I’m pretty sure I have enough containers to start 2 for each kind of seed. That counts the pots Joyce brought over and the ones I’ve saved. I’m excited! Now all I have to do is get some potting soil and do it. While babies are sprouting, I’ll get the beds ready. I’m growing the nettle in a small wheelbarrow for containment.
