Garden Season 2010

So the other day I went outside to check out the backyard. It's pretty messy but I can see some stuff already starting to grow back. I have to admit, I have not been very excited about gardening this year. Last year sorta felt like a bust. I was sure that gardening would be like most things and get easier as I gained experience but I feel like there are so many variables and that it might NEVER get easy. It is a complex thing and there is so much to learn. Also, fuck a cold summer man. Seriously.

I had this brilliant and zany idea that I would just sprinkle the whole area with wildflower seeds.

Just kidding.

Here is a list of seeds that I have purchased but failed to start yet. Eeek!

Bean-Refugee

Bean-Fin de Bagnol

Carrot-Tonda di Parigi

Chard- Five-colour Silverbeet

Eggplant-Diamond

Lettuce-Little Gem (Sugar Cos)

Lettuce-Bronze Arrowhead

Lettuce-Buttercrunch

Melon-Montreal

Pea-Spanish Skyscraper

Radish-Cherry Belle

Straight Eight Cucumber

Tomato-Aurora

Tomato-Believe It or Not

Tomato-Black Giant

Tomato-Camp Joy

I really love all the names. How does one get to name a plant? I would like that job.
