Seed order this Thursday ...

I'm pretty excited to meet some gardeners this Thursday from the Sustainable Ballard community. These folks have been gardening and ordering seeds together for years so I will get to see their own collections of seed from their plants. I will have nothing to contribute there but will bring the pea seed from Aslan's How CSA. I will be that new kid but oh well. Territorial differentiates their seed by conventional from certified organic/biodynamic (the latter of which they have few). This is different from Abundant Life who separates all three (and labels the conventional seed "sustainably grown"). I wonder why Territorial lumps the two categories together? They would certainly have a market for the biodynamic standing on it's own. Not how they roll I guess. Maybe next year they'll get it. Also unfortunate that they have virtually no organic varieties of herbs and flowers. At this rate I won't be growing too many herbs this year. Boo. So when my turn comes to order I'll be asking for:

Apiaceae: Perfection fennel
Chenopodiaceae: Bull's Blood beet,
Brassicaceae: Purple Peacock broccoli (broccoli/kale cross!), White Russian kale, Sylvetta Wild arugula
Asteraceae: Flashy Trout's Back lettuce, Continuity lettuce, Red Velvet lettuce
Amaranthaceae: Brightest Brilliant Rainbow quinoa, Galilee spinach
Lamiaceae: Sweet basil
Solanaceae: Healthy sweet pepper, Hot Claw hot pepper, Beaverlodge tomato, Early Cherry tomato, Cherokee Purple heirloom tomato

By the way I just looked up "spinach" on wiki and according to that page spinach is no longer in the cheno family with beets, but in with the amaranths. Times are always changing.
