Pluggers by Rick McKee for January 16, 2025

Yep.

Only had one show up so far. Guess I’ll use the online version for the one I usually order from: Pinetree garden seeds.

Beans End?

My two main seed catalogs arrived weeks ago. Although my garden size is quite small compared to years ago, I still order more than logical, even with drip irrigation to increase water efficiency, and a juicer and dehydrator to reduce produce volume for freezing and pantry storage. I don’t have the energy to do canning like I used to.

The true Plugger Dream Magazine ! Seed Catalogs ;-)

Received my first order already and purchased more yesterday. Need to get them in the ground before next week’s snow (does that make any sense?)

Transplanted the grafted Granny Smith yesterday. NOT looking forward to pruning season.

My closest friend from school sent me 2 packages of wild flowers seeds. Wild flowers from the Swabian Alb where I grew up. This is all I need for the garden this year. And of course a lot of energy and sharp scissors to cut the hedges. There is quite something to do this spring. Wasn’t able to do much last year, so…

I have mine already. Makes me so happy when I get one.
