I’m sooo excited! The first of my tomato seeds arrived today! I’m hoping the rest will arrive on Monday. It’s taking everything in me to not open the package right away. But I know it’s better to wait and plant all my seeds at once. It’s just so hard waiting! I’ve received an e-mail from one company last week saying they had shipped my seeds immediately. E-bay sellers really like me, because usually I’m very fast to pay. The comments left for me even say “Great E-bayer!” One of the sellers I picked in part because it’s actually a local seller. Unfortunately, they’ve (?he’s?) been having some health problems, so it took him a few days to get back to me. (The store name is Dave’s something, so I’m pretty sure it’s a guy I’ve been dealing with, I think.) I offered to go pick it up from him if it would be quicker, but honestly, if he gets it in the mail Monday, I’ll probably get it Tuesday. I bought tomatoes and white wonder cucumbers from his store. I’ve been reading up on them and it sounds like they’re a relatively easy plant.
The garden bug is spreading. I think my friend Nick was already interested in a garden, but when I described mine the other night he got really excited. He called me the next night at midnight to ask me about sowing seeds. I think I’ll offer him some of my seedlings, especially if I get a good turnout on the heirloom varieties. They were on the list of people I was going to give veggies to this summer, though…so I guess that’s gone now J
