If you're not working on Feb. 8th we could meet up at the Seed Sale / Exchange. Alternatively, I'll send you the website & contact details for the company I buy my seeds from. I've been very happy with them for the past few years.
Yay! We shall organise details of timing & such closer to the date. I will have the car, which will make things easier. Emailing you the details of the seed company.
I'm planning to start my onion-family seeds around Feb. 1st. Onions aren't critical, the earlier you start them the bigger they will eventually get - however you can always plant them from sets rather than from seed in April or May. Leeks grow so slowly that they need an early start. But any time before the end of Feb should be fine.
I was worried that it wasn't even the end of January and that I'd already missed the boat. :P
You and t! are welcome to come to dinner on the 8th if you'd like, and generally hang out after he seed fair. That is, if t! is coming. If not, then you are obviously welcome solo. It'll be a bit like old times, except that this time I'll be hosting. ;)
This is just one reason why I could never ever be a farmer, as much as the *idea* of farming makes me feel all cozy and nesty. The planning part of a vegetable garden I'd love, but the execution part
(BTW: Love the icon, maybe because that greenwoman hangs over my altar!)
