I have a goal this year- to plant every single seed I have. This list is enormous- I KNOW. It’s absurd. That’s kind of the point. I don’t want to have a box of half-used (or never used) seed packets at the end of the year- I want to be able to purchase my new seeds in the Spring, and just move forward! So, we’ll see if I can reach my goal this year. I think we might need to adopt a border collie- they herd, right? So maybe one could keep my soon-to-be-walking son in the yard, so I could garden during his waking hours?? (Don’t let my grousing fool you- I am pretty much ridiculously excited by this list.) These are the seeds, there are other plants I intend to transplant this month (rhubarb and mint and iris) and there will be potatoes again. I have every one of these on hand, except for a very small handful. Please tell me again and again that this list is nuts, so that I will get it all in the ground this year!

Whoa. 8-l
just out of curiosity, how much garden space do you have? is all of that going into the ground, or will some be in containers? I will have an extremely limited garden space this year, and I want to maximize the space. How do you do it?
@Erin-
I’ll post some pictures of what we’re working with. I have four garden boxes, a strip along the driveway, and a border bed around part of our small lawn. I’ll be planting containers with what does well in containers around here. If you’re really looking to maximize space, take a look at companion planting. You can companion plant vertically- plant root crops with leafy crops, for example- as long as they don’t compete for the same nutrients, there’s plenty of space for both! Let me pull my stuff together and post it up, it will be a good exercise for me since I haven’t pulled them out for a year or two
(BUT…this list is enormous not because I have unlimited space, but because I have all these seeds in the cupboard! I want them gone

So not nuts! You should see my dirty little seed secret box.
Happy almost planting season!
