First things first:
Yesterday was my birthday, and Torin took his first steps! It was an excellent birthday present. Today he got his first canine tooth, and bit me enough times to remind me that my birthday was over, haha.
The New Year's varieties:
The order for new seeds to try included:
I went with some yellow summer squash and peas because I have a bit of a problem with skipping over a few of them when they match the green leaves. The veggies get too mature so they are less pleasant to eat, and the plant thinks it is done producing offspring. Hopefully the bursts of color will make the veggies too obvious for me to ignore, and they should also be more exciting for Torin.
The wild thyme is to test for growing as a ground cover or between stepping stones... we may still cover the lawn with it, and growing from seed will be infinitely cheaper than buying plants.
Tattle Time:
Also, Ryan is an enabler. I tried to get him to help me narrow down the list, and it just made me end up adding on a couple of tomatoes, another hot pepper, a pickling cucumber, and a toddler-sized sunflower.
