Has everyone finished ordering seeds/plants yet?
I myself have just a few other things then i should be all set. I'm just waiting for everything to arrive soon. Did anyone start receiving their orders yet? I get very happy, i'm sure everyone is this way, to receive seeds/plants and other things in the mail. Before you know it, the garden will be very much alive again after the loooong winter we all have had (long sigh) and its almost over , not quite though.

Finished? Not hardly I've bought all the seeds that I need (and found some sweet banana pepper seeds from last year in the pantry, whoo hoo!) but buying plants . . . there's no rush. They can't even be shipped to me until Mother's Day (May 9th, this year) so there's just no point. I will buy the few plants (very few, just a couple of tomatoes and a mint) that I need from a local store here in early May, and *order* the plants that I need to get from online sources, but they promise not to ship to me until early May, so we're good.

I haven't even ordered them yet, and probably won't till the end of this month.

This is what it's like living in Minnesota! I often wish, now, that I'd chosen to stay in San Diego when I was graduating from high school . . . such a better climate! And I'd probably already have strawberries now, instead of waiting (still) for the snow to go away so I can see whether my patch survived or not!

Yep, all seed orders went out last month and they've nearly all arrived-woohoo! Just waiting on some alfalfa seeds that are on backorder. Then to pick up a few herb plants locally.
(I don't mean to brag, but we've had some good weather and I've been busy getting dirty)

I'm all done... Got most of my stuff in about a month ago. Only thing I had to pick up locally was peas and onion sets (got'em in the ground Tuesday!) It's just about go-time here. Can't wait for the mud to dry up so I can work on my strawberry patch (moving it to a better spot).

We have almost all our seeds, waiting on some that are in the mail as I type!!!
I won't be buying any plants till early May as well. But hopefully if I get the hang of seed starting in the house...I won't have to buy many!!!

I have received my ordered seeds. I won't say I'm done- I might fall in love with something I just have to have, come spring. I must say now that I have been gardening for a few years- I don't need much, and I don't have much room. (But, there is that new garden, we put in last fall.) Spring is in the air....

I ordered everything in Jan. and now I'm starting my plants and WAITING for SPRING.
I learned the hard way not to wait too long to order seeds and plants. They sell out fast!

NEVER!!!!! I am ALWAYS on the hunt for a bargain to save pennies!! NEVER stop buying and storing your seeds--so you can continue to eat!!!

I agree! One can never have enough seeds! But it does help to save your own from year to year.

TOO TRUE--I'm copying Vfem, and carrying around baggies while I garden to grab seeds. Isn't that what your jean's pockets are made for?!?
