 I started sorting through all my seeds in anticipation of starting some plants. As I receive seeds, I enter them in my database and mark them with their ID number so year to year, I can track which seeds were harvested from what seeds and where I got them. Then I group them by type and rubber band them so planting is easier. 

Well, apparently back in September, I bought like 30 packs of seeds and never entered them in my database. I went and looked and apparently Seed Savers was have a big sale, most of the packets were around $1.50. So I bought a ton of seeds.

And never entered them. I had a minor surprise when I opened my tub because I had just shoved them on top and I guess expected that I would remember about them before this? I have no idea.

So are these anonymous packets of vegetable surprise or do they at least say what they are? (Though possibly not usefully; my mother bought, and we planted, something labelled "gourds" one year.)

Haha, they were all straight from the seed company so well labeled. The only problem is that I already made my plans for what I was planting so I'll need to rework it. I'm also really baffled by what I bought, I got so many melon seeds for some reason. Thankfully I didnt buy more of the same seeds later.

Hurrah for labels! The "well, the seeds are tiny..." game is not a fun game.

Did melons sell well last year? Do you get hankerings for cantaloupe?

Hope the surprises fit in well.

It's that specific sort of grey-and-not-raining-yet out right now that means it's not really spring. It clearly going to be spring -- most of the snow has melted -- but there's this definite hard cold rain thing still going on.
