"RESTRAINT IS NOT MY STRONG SUIT, but when faced with a pile of seed catalogs and a DSL line linking me to thousands more, restraint must become my mantra. To insure vegetable seed-ordering success, not excess, I wrote a refresher course whose principles I swear I am trying to follow. Om…restraint…om. (Or not.)At first, I thought this would be a post for beginners, but realized even experts are over-indulgently inclined. For me, resisting buying everything requires an annual review of the basic mathematics of vegetable gardening. Now (not after 11 boxes of seeds arrive that you forgot you ordered) is the time to crunch your own numbers:"

I'm with ya', Mike! The problem is that what we really need in ou rkitchen garden is just a few of each type, not a whole packet full. I've taken to using one of my beds as the "nursery" and then giving little seedlings to whoever stops by (as you know!) Then, I replant as many as I have room for in the other beds. And yes, I continue to overdo it. Whatever.
