Dan and I are gearing up for the upcoming gardening season so I sat down and inventoried all of our seeds on hand. If anyone is interested in swapping some seeds for anything we have listed here let me know what you have to swap. Always looking for more peppers, heirloom tomatoes, flowers (especially Sunflowers and edible flowers for my Tortoises)

WOW!! I do not have any seeds to swap by I wanted to comment that you have a great seed inventory. Do you grow all that stuff?? I am so jealous, I cannot even keep a house plant alive. I am amazed, how do you do it?

My other half is the *pepper head*, he actually has more seeds than that just the rest of them he has so few numbers there arent enough to swap until he grows the pepper itself and produces more seeds. He tries to grow at least 20 varieties of peppers each year. This year we will be working on some salsa recipes of our own as well. We dry out a whole lot of peppers during the growing season. Our house smells like peppers all the time while the dehydrator is running. lol I mostly grow the heirloom tomatoes and dabble in some of the peppers like the ornamentals. I love growing flowers and its nice if I can grow stuff the torts can eat too. We are starting to plan this years garden now, we will be starting seeds indoors under grow lights at the end of Jan, or early Feb to get a jump start on the short growing season we have up here in WI.

yah i can't keep a plant alive to save my life!!!!! I bet you i'd kill dandelions. lol! i'm envious, too!

The only way I can grow anything is if we have 10 foot fences. The deer are very brazen here. They come right up on my patio and go into my flower beds! They eat everything in sight!

Well that is a concern for this year as we moved on to 80 wooded acres the end of August. We will see how that goes. The woods start 20 yards or so out the back doors and pretty much surround the house other than the driveway. This area is nothing but farmland and woods. Plenty of Deer, Pheasant and Turkey.

Here is a front view.


Here is my view outside my office window, at the back of the house.

Very pretty. We live in the pine barrens. I will have to post some pics it is very pretty. I can give you a safe potion for plants in your yard that works if you apply every 2 weeks. Put 3 eggs in a blender and fill with water. Mix well, put in a sprayer and apply generously to plants. The deer do not like the protein in the plants and won't eat them. But if you don't reapply in 2 weeks, they are free food!

It would definitely be worth a try! Thanks. Im also thinking of planting Daffodils along the edge of the woods. They dont like the taste of them. lol

wow anja, im SO jealous of you and ALL THAT LAND!!!
if i were you, i'd have a huge garden as well.

We planted some extra purple coneflowers in our woodlot (deer heaven with multiple mulberries) and they don't touch them. They'll graze and browse around them but won't touch.
