A Laundry List of Seeds

Ian and I sat down today and finally ordered our seeds after browsing the Ontario Seed Company catalogue since Christmas. 

Picking what we will grow is a big decision.  These are the plants we are going to spend countless hours nurturing in order to have a bountiful harvest to eat, share, and sell.

Here is a run down of what we have selected for our 2018 garden.  I included photos from the catalogue where possible since visuals are always helpful.  I have also included information on whether the seed is an heirloom variety and the time from planting to harvest.
