My Baker Seed Order

Earlier in January, I wrote how I purchased a copy of the "Whole Seed Catalog" from  The Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company.

I placed my order on January 14th, and it was here in two days.  It was packaged and sent on the 15th and I received it on the 16th. Shipping for my order was $3.50 and the actual postage on the envelope was $3.08!

I am very impressed with the speed of their service and that they charged for shipping as close to what the cost of actual shipping was. 

I ordered 20 packages of seeds.  Yes, very ambitious, for a first time seed planter.  But, I'm learning, and I want to try everything that I read about.

My Dear Darling wants carrots.  So, I found and ordered several types of carrots.

Our Darling Boy likes yellow beans.  Not wax beans.  Yellow beans.  I know, they are one and the same, but if the package says "yellow" beans, well then, I can say I planted "yellow" beans.

I want peas.  All kinds.  Sugar Snap.  Snow pea.  Regular pea.  I wanted them for eating and partly for improving my soil.

I ordered some Golden Purslane for a gal I work with.  She loves Purslane and this way, I can plant some and give her something that I know she will enjoy.

I also ordered some Ground Cherry to try.  I'm looking for new things and adventure.  What better way than to try an heirloom?

How do you or did you pick what you ordered in seeds this year?
