Seems like a lot (cause it is!) but I hope to have some (or most) of these seeds left over for next year's garden as well. So next year's seeds will be free. Also, I received a $100 bill for Christmas and am using that money towards my garden, so no money out of my pocket really.

And now I just have to figure out how I will start my seeds. I figure I will start them sometime in March (maybe February). And then I have to start my construction plan for my green bean/blackeyed pea/lima bean trellis/archway. I want a trellis that is an entryway from the garden into the yard. So an arch, or a straight, up and down doorway structure made from trellis. And I want it to be covered in beans beans beans! So when you walk under it you can look up to see hanging beans and peas and just pick them! This will be a contruction project I am thinking of trying to do myself....
Hmmmm....
Have I ever built anything? Nope.
Do I have the skills required? Not sure.
Do I have a brother-in-law who does wood projects? Yes....
Do I want to try and see if I can do it all by myself? Absolutely!
Will it fall down and crush the lives of hundreds of beans? Quite possibly! (But I hope not)

My Burpee seeds are on their way and hopefully the others will soon be too. I can't wait to get the seed packets in my hands and just look at them! Touch them! I'm super excited about this year's garden!
