Since our garden is quite new (“founded” in spring 2005) sowing seeds was and still is the easiest and cheapest way to get it green and colourful. And it makes so much fun!<br /><br />What kind of a seed buyer I am? Okay, let me try to answer your questions:<br /><br />Well, I guess I have almost all seed catalogs from ALL German seeds Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751093479686765693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-28747316263612314392007-01-02T10:43:00.000-05:002007-01-02T10:43:00.000-05:00Carol - What a great post!

I have a light setup in the basement for indoor sowing, and this year will be my first foray into winter sowing---I don't have enough room under the lights or on my window sills for all the seeds I want to start.
