greenstormSo last year I lost a packet of seed I really wanted to plant. It was a problem.
This year I'm cataloguing all my seeds in a spreadsheet-- not carrying them over from previous years when I bought them but doing a full inventory. Then I'm putting them in a cabinet. They don't go in the cabinet until they're catalogued. Theoretically they don't come out again until the packet is empty, and I just pull out the seeds I need to plant very briefly.
The activity itself is pretty fun, cataloguing, and I'm expecting the spreadsheet to be pretty helpful in building my planting timetable for the year.
I've got a couple new things I'm trying that I'm excited about: skirret, for instance, and scorzonera. Plus I'm trying a couple baccatum peppers and some new corns, a bunch of breadseed poppies, and things like that.
Anyhow, looking forward to completing the cataloguing and starting ot build a picture of what my garden will look like this year. It'll be big; it's also a moving target since some of the original garden is perennializing/turning into roses and haskaps.
Can't wait to see how it turns out.
