How's thing holding on up your way? Trying to warm up here, but the wind is persisting from the NE and NW on alternate days, so it's keeping things a little cool.
Was cold end of last week but warmed up again now. Getting puddles in some places but still a lot of snow cover. No bare ground visible except under the odd tree and where it's been ploughed.
I'm ready for spring. Brought some dirt in yesterday to thaw and start seedlings in

Haven't got as far as a seed catalogue yet, still bogged down with a wood pile. Maybe the end of the week, when the grandson comes for a visit. He's getting anxious about his garden for this year.
Stupid Vesey's is so expensive but at least I don't have to leave the house for them Probably have three years worth of seeds the way I plant too!
Now I just have to find somewhere that lets me order planting stuff online and just pick it up at the door. What's the chance a small town home hardware does that... hah

I used to order from Vesey's a long time ago. Thought they were a little pricey then but always had good success with germination and crop growth. One time I planted some pelletized seed and it didn't come up. Called them up and a new package showed up a few days later, no charge, I was quite surprised to be honest.
Does your feed store not carry any garden seed? I use my local Co-op and they carry a couple different lines of garden seed. They have the doors locked right now so everything goes thru the drive-thru window, but I could call in an order and pick it up the next time I go for feed. Home Hardware should have basic seeds, I saw some in mine the last time I was in there, MacKenzie seeds I believe. You'll have to go get them tho. Maybe if you got in touch with MacKenzie or Ontario (OSC) they'll ship, worth a try.

Oh yeah there's seeds everywhere. Just I'm a pick up a packet and read it, put it back, pick up another one, kind of person. If everyone else interested in seeds is like me.... Well I just don't want to go get seeds at the store. Not worth the drive or the human interaction
Vesey's website has details about most seeds like easy harvest, storage quality, uses, etc. McKenzies seeds don't tend to have those.
Too late now anyway. All ordered.

Okay, I like to do the same. I stopped gardening for a while so the catalogue from Vesey's stopped coming. When the grandson turned 3 he thought he ought to have a vegetable garden and so it began again. Unfortunately, with the virus thing, he won't be able to help pick out the seeds this year, that will have to be Grampy's job. However, I'll pick up a catalogue first and we'll go through it so I can pick up what he wants to put in.

Your garden is starting to sound an awful lot like my grandson's, although he got the gourds too.
No point gardening if you don't make it fun.
Part of being an adult is being able to do things the way I want. I fought mom on rototilling, said I didn't want to be the labour pushing the rototiller and I would not weed it after. I know my limitations, weeding is the main one! Instead I found a garbage piece of grain bag and made myself an instant covered garden. Last year I think it finally won mom over. I completely neglected it for weeks on end, yet hardly any weeds! And its water requirements are minimal since the plastic helps hold in the moisture. I also had never ending blooming, probably because the soil temp stayed so high. I had peas and tomatoes in bloom while I was covering them for frost in September!
But the piece of plastic is only so big. I ordered a lot of stuff I didn't have last year, figured I should see if I can fit it all in before I try to add gourds. Going to try and make some vining stands as well since there's a lot of pole beans and squash on my list. Maybe I'll have an entire maze!
Best start planning...
Also I've had a bitch of a time getting any of my vining flowers to work. Clematis, honeysuckle, wisteria... they're all tiny and not vining much at all. So I might as well fill those trellises up with pretty beans

You'll have to get another bag, or 2! Sounds easier than ours.
Ours is a piece of plowed up ground, about 20' x 70'. I had the tools to do it already. I use a tiller on it now that it's plowed. Clean out the chickens in the spring and put it on the garden. I bought one of those blow torch weeders. Saves a ton of work , just need to be careful around plants just getting started. I use a shovel to protect them from the flame. A thick layer of grass clippings also helps keep weeds down and retain moisture. My lawn is about 1/2 acre, so I let it grow a little longer and then use the clippings on the garden. Usually the rest of the summer is just the occasional weed after that.
