Seed/Plant Order for the 2015 Garden

I've just put in my primary seed/plant order for my first full year in the Texas garden. I went with Baker Seeds since I love their variety and I've always had a good experience with them. I will also be supplementing with some locally-purchased plants, seeds I already have, and possibly a small order from Bountiful Gardens.

The challenge with this order was the decision to include things I will grow for the next few seasons: spring through possibly next winter. So it is a big order! See my choices below. All photos are from the Baker order site.

I was looking at the Attila strawberries too! They look great! And I wish I'd saved some borage seeds for you.... I had a LOT of borage. Where will you fit it all? Are you getting a community garden plot?

This is for all of the seasons over the next year, so it will all be in a rotation. The borage & clover are for areas I don't want to leave empty but am not "ready" for so I am not sure how much I will really plant yet. I will be planting around the front ad side of the house, doing a lot vertical (up walls and trellises), and some will be in pots--we'll see how it goes!
