The Seeds Are Arriving!

The first shipment of Seeds arrived on Friday, January 19, 2013.

Received from Annie's Heirloom Seeds http://www.anniesheirloomseeds.com/

Red Bunching Onions - for my almost daily salad
Cumin - very excited as I use this Spice a lot in my cooking.

Royal Burgundy Bush Bean - the description sounded intriguing
Mini Bells Mix - for my almost daily salad.

In fact, the reason for starting the garden in 2009 was to supply my salad needs.

The garden looks so barren in the winter.
The only remaining vestiges are the Sage bush and the asparagus fronds.
The asparagus is the harbinger of spring in the desert - this past year the young shoots were so tender; few made it indoors.

I await further shipments of seeds.

The Sandias have an almost ethereal glow in the winter at sunset - one of many reasons to live here!
