Do you mean you throw away your seed packs every season if you haven't planted them, or do you mean you don't reserve seeds from what you grow? Just wondering.<br /><br />I make a map of what I grow...as water and sun fade my sticks. Last year I cut up milk gallons for my labels and boy they faded so fast. I have one of my kiddos go to the roof and take a photo of the gardens before I plant so I can plot where things go and then I have them take two or three through the summer to keep up. In my greenhouse(a bedroom that faces south-as Third moved out)I also have a map because I rotate the flats to maximize the suns rays. And when I say flats I say cardboard box that comes with soda from grocery stores I collect and use under cut plastic water bottles. I collect these from offices around town and cut and poke holes in the bottom, so my planters are free.<br /><br />Anyhoo...I love how you accomplish so much while mastering the extreme weather you have. <br /><br />Take care my friend<br />JenniferHumble wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823200562312609670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405390740729986135.post-22677082059644660242013-03-04T14:35:36.209-09:002013-03-04T14:35:36.209-09:00How lucky Olivia is to learn gardening from you at...How lucky Olivia is to learn gardening from you at her young age.

She's already a big help to you and she loves doing it.<br /><br />Oh my gosh Gayle, all of the work and expense for the short time of beauty is amazing to me. But when I see your colorful exploding flower beds each garden season, I see why. What joy, not just for you, but for all who drive by too.<br /><br />Happy Gardening ~ FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.com
