The Order Is In!

Well after several hours of Amanda and I working together to decide on seed varieties and then me staying up until 1am deciding (guessing) on quantities and actually ordering the seed we finally have all of our orders in. Picking seeds this year was mostly about educated Guesses (with a capital G). Not really knowing how much this acre will yield and not knowing how various products will do at market we strolled through the catalogs and picked things that were interesting (as well as some staples). I think we are both quite happy with the order and are very excited to see the seeds come in so without further ado (and with the disclaimer that we have no idea what we are doing) here is our 2010 vegetable list (87 different varieties):
