Two seed orders in. This is getting expensive. No more! Everyone else set for seed starting? #garden #gardening #seedstr #homesteading #homestead

Currently working on inventorying the seeds we have (how many seeds, species, varietal, year packed for, etc.).

Then we'll pick out what we're going to plant, how many, where (optimizing for sunlight, drainage, trellising, crop rotation, and companion plants). Then we'll be able to order any seeds that we don't already have.

Once we get a 3 year crop rotation planned out, it should get much easier. Doubly so if we keep our inventory up to date as we go.

Its crazy how many seeds can pile up in the inventory. I usually save way more than I could ever use. This time of year I go through everything and I'll test germinate old seed by growing it as microgreens in shallow yorgurt trays. Its always incredible when you take 10 year old seed like amaranth and it germinates near 100%. And then you put them on a sandwich!
