Last night I placed an order for heirloom seeds for our 2009 jardin. I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll add things here and there when the time comes to visit nurseries around town. I&#8217;m just excited to know that the seeds we harvest will be able to be planted next season with fruits and veggies that are the same as the parent. I&#8217;ve also been gathering flower seeds that attract bees and hummingbirds. Thankfully, we already have several places established with Clematis, and bees LOVE it!

That&#8217;s really helpful! I&#8217;ve already gone through and made notes about what we can do in our garden\/yard on our days off. We also bought a soaker hose since they were on sale. I plan on salvaging more from thrift stores and such and converting them to soaker hoses so our entire yard can eventually be watered that way. I&#8217;d also like to try rain collection even though we don&#8217;t have gutters. I figure if I put it on a corner, it&#8217;s bound to get plenty of run-off to make it worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p>OK Spring, I&#8217;m ready!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wahoo!
