Last I checked the tracking for my Baker Creek order, it was still hung up in Illinois, so it was a wonderful surprise to get it in, along with the Heritage Harvest order I knew had arrived in yesterday’s mail.
First, Baker Creek. You can read about what we ordered and why, with links, here.
The hulless seed pumpkins, carrots and onions are all repeat orders. The free Merlot lettuce seeds are a variety we’ve ordered before. We hadn’t planned to buy lettuce seeds for 2023, but there they are!
The Hedou Tiny Bok Choy is something I’d not heard of before! I don’t know if we’ll plant the lettuce for 2023, but I’d sure like to try this variety of Bok Choy! From the description, they are a cool weather crop, so we should be able to grow them all right, here.
Then there is our second order from Heritage Harvest. You can read about what we ordered, and why, with links, here.
Well, would you look at that! Thanks to the free seeds, we now have two types of lettuce! Jebousek lettuce. “A wonderful heirloom deer tongue lettuce from Czechoslovakia. Ella Jebousek of Brooks, Oregon received this variety from a descendant of the family who brought it from Czechoslovakia. Looseleaf type.”
We’ll see if we try them in 2023 or not.
What I’m looking forward to is going through that seed saving book!
I don’t think we’ll be ordering more seeds after this. We will be ordering other things, though, that will be shipped in the spring. Potatoes, for sure, and likely raspberry bushes or strawberries. That won’t happen until after the holidays, though.
At least, that’s the plan so far… 😉

Not sure… one of the heritage seed companies (could it be Heritage Seeds?)… the one with black tomatoes.
I probably ordered stuff that’s plants and not in season yet. I honestly don’t know… will look it up later.
Do you not sleep?

That would be Baker Creek.
And I would love to be asleep right now, but Marlee is not happy with the kittens. She won’t stop snarling and growling. I don’t think there’s even a kitten near her. One is curled up against my kegs right now, and last I saw, the other was curled up near the heat vent.

PCB gets that way. She attacked me today for adjusting her spot on my chest while she could see another cat.
Hope you get some sleep!

PCB was insanely psycho when I t9ok her in. It ttok about a year to be able to predict.her attacks. Now they’rexrelatively rare and I’m pretty good at seeing the warnings. I knew yesterday was trouble but I was on a zoom and couldn’t take proper evasive maneuvers.

Gosh, I hope it doesn’t take a year for Marlee!
Mind you, she’s seeing a lot of changes in a short time. Having the littles is just too much for her. Unfortunately, we basically have just one room with a door that we can isolate them in, so there’s not much we can do!

PCB showed up as a fully psycho adult. No predictability at all. So 1yr to mlow her a tad, and be able to tell people “it’s okay to pet her but of the middle of her back twitches, get your hand away fast!”
