My garden experiment for this year...growing potatoes in old tires. Tires can be acquired easily, you actually have to pay to get rid of them, so this is a good use. Thanks Mike and Amanda! And Susan for pointing out the idea...

Also, finding out that lovage can get to be 5' tall...I'm going to have to move the thing! But, also learning that you can use lovage seeds like fennel seeds...priceless. Thanks Matteo's Herbs Galore!

So it's been a few years, but...
I know it's been a few years since this was updated. I realize now it was my zeal for moving OUT of Johnstown, and since then have made a completely new life in Johnstown. Now that I'm back, and have a garden that I started last year, I think it makes perfect sense to actually post some things about seeds!! That is, if people are still using Blogger. Again, may make sense to move it too, much like the moves I have had in the past few years!
So, here is what I'M researching for this year. Heirlooms and Open Pollinated seeds are the best, because they are not genetically modified (we can have that argument here if we need to/ want to).
Here are some places to go!!! Let's talk gardening as a source of Local Food!!!
