I am Not. Allowed. To. Buy. anything from seed catalogs until after Christmas.
But, but but but, they keep showing UP! In the MAILBOX! And yeah, sure, I did order them and I even ordered more, but it's just cruel.
Today was Seed Savers Exchange. And no sooner did I flip it open than my eye fell on a page of lovely lettuces. Reminding me that I have no lettuce seed and have not even put lettuce on my list. This shall be remedied.
I have decided my first wintersowing will happen the week between Christmas and New Years. This is because my cousin/housemate will be away that week, so I will be able to get my system down and make the messes and clean them up and figure out how to organize it all, without her around for me to worry about will she be upset by the temporary chaos.
It's always a bit different in a different space, and I've always been living alone when I did this in other places, so only had my own self to worry about making it all clean for after planting. Which I did, of course, just without being concerned for someone else's floor and carpet and what all.
Anyway. Soon! And once I get into that, I'll feel more like I have a handle on this project. I think.
Meanwhile, putting lettuce on my list.
I did give my sister a few seed names on my Christmas list, but those were ones where I don'tcare a whole great lot about variety etc. Unlike lettuce.
