Greenhouse and seeds... getting ready for Spring!

Sorry for the long delay between posts.  Life and Christmas consumed Our Little Garden and our crazy lives.  There is so much that has been going on too!  So here is a brief summary to kick off one of our last posts of the year.

As I type we are planning our seed list for our Spring crop.  Just last week my hubby and 'head gardener' got an early Christmas present, a greenhouse!  We have used seeds and seedlings in past crops but this greenhouse will open new opportunities for us in the coming Spring.

The greenhouse we purchased through the home improvement store Harbor Freight.

Approximately 1/3 of our yard contains our garden and this 6'x8' greenhouse is perfect for us.

It is very important for us to start our crops from seedling as finding certified organic plants for the garden are not a guaranteed find.  We love shopping at Armstrong Gardens Center and in the Spring and summer you can find organic plants and seeds at Lowes and Home Depot but not in every variety.  This is going to help us maintain our garden as non-GMO and organic from seed to table.

The catalog we use for ordering seeds is the Southern Exposure Seed Exchange.  http://www.southernexposure.com/

So much information it can be overwhelming.  But we are so excited for this next step in our garden.  We will update you with our seed orders and info ASAP.
