someone is going to have to save me from myself...hehehhe I got a Park Seed Fall Catalog today...I want at least one of nearly everything, EXCEPT irises and daffodils (I dug up soo many of them cleaning out my flower beds here)..Right on the top of my list is a bicolored butterfly bush...ohhh my goodness it is so gorgeous..sooo sooo pretty..ohh and they had some gorgeous looking blueberry bushes in there too..I love blueberry bushes...and I want 3 more to add to my two I have  I really like blueberries YUMMO...

Today I examined where I planted the marigolds and coleus and chives that were packaged for 1982 I saw little sprouts coming up where the marigolds were planted, nothing yet where the coleus is planted and there is something coming up in one of the chive pots but I dont think it is a chive...going to have to do some research of what they look like as babies..LOL

I am addicted I admit it, I cant stop planting seeds, I get in the freezer (which is where I keep all my seeds)and find more seeds...and just keep on planting...Saturday I planted some okra and some zucchinni seeds, Friday I planted some chive seeds and some coleus seeds and some marigold seed pods (they were from my stash I was given from my fil after he passed away) OHH and the interesting thing..the seeds I planted on Friday were dated that they were packaged for 1982...hmmm they have been kept in the freezer that is where he always kept them so I keep them there too...I keep going to look to see if I see any little plants coming up...of course it was JUST Friday soooo nothing yet...but I will keep you all updated...

sooo I have a feeling that this winter will be a time of planting inside in flats for the garden for spring...and ohhh I can hardly wait until fall, when the berry bushes get put out for sale...I am going to add 3 blueberry bushes and a peach tree. I have two blueberry bushes already but want to add to those.  I have blackberry bushes and a grape vine too but I am probably not adding to those..not this year anyhoo.

I think I may need a 12 step program...wonder if there is a Planters Anonymous..LOL or maybe Gardeners Anonymous...LOL
