Burpee Came Yesterday

I received my Burpee Catalog yesterday, and I don't know why it is so late.  I usually get a huge influx of catalogs in January, so this is very late to be getting a seed catalog.  Now, I really don't know what to do, too late to start many of the seeds, but they do offer small plants, but not the ones I want!  How frustrating this is just when I am ready to get started on my vegetable garden.

I think I will order the tomato plants called Brandy Boy (a cross between Brandywine and one of the Boy tomatoes) higher yields than the heirloom "Brandywine." and a pepper called Mariachi (an All America Winner) just a hint of heat!

I am just continuing to ignore the snow, maybe I will go shopping for fertilizer today.

**Ordered my plants from Burpee (got free Espoma Fertilizer), bought my onion sets from Home Depot and some garlic sets to keep the rabbits away

  1. Fellow teacher here Gatsby! What a wonderful garden you had. I have tried to grow vegetables in NC where I live but my lot is too shady!

  2. I have had a very shady lot also in a previous house. My tomato plants grew to eight feet tall with few tomatoes.

    You won't believe this, but I was a Kindergarten teacher for thirty-five years in the public school system. My best friend for all of those years a pe teacher just moved to Aiken, South Carolina. Go figure!
