I got the mail yesterday and wow! did I get mail! a lovely smaller package awaited me but what was inside.. promise.. promise of new life.. yup.. Seeds!
O but not any seeds, these are old fashion heritage seeds, most of the little packages were in sets of ten seeds, enough for any self-respecting gardener to be able to plant in two sets and get a few for trying to eat, enough to try them in a soup and to take the very best for keeping back a bounty for the couple two years worth of seeds for the garden and just a few to pass along to someone in the future.
That’s what home garderers and seed savers do…they are savers of the what will be..
but some of them, well they came with only four seeds, top hand harvested, hand sorted and top of the line seeds they are, but still only four! They will be planted out at the perfect time (no risking any early or lates on them) and they will be watched over and be the babies of the garden while see having that steely eye on them that say.. I will baby you for seed but I will be taking notes on if you are good or not! 🙂
So I say again.. thank you for this gift from one of my regular commentors! I will keep you posted! on how it all goes from start to harvest on the blog.
Just another Day on the Farm 
Glad they made it okay! I can’t wait to see how they grow for you. I’m re-planting all the varieties again this year, as last year was NOT typical with the drought! I also got some true red cranberry seeds this year – but only three of them! So, yes, I’ll be babying some too!
Thanks again K.B. it was wonderful to see the seeds and some of them are so pretty!
Wow, they’re gorgeous – ‘specially Jacob’s Cattle (they remind me of our neighbour’s wee Highland Beasties: ) I’d love to see the variety in your bean patch this year; but what an awesome responsibility…
O deb, they truly are, so many pretty, pretty beans and I hear you, I do feel like if I lose them I will have some xplaining to do LOL I also got two kinds of okra seeds, I have never grown okra, or eaten okra so I am more then open to any impute in regards to this plant!
Aren’t they the coolest thing to get in the mail!!!
I too was gifted with beans from KB, and didn’t they just make you smile when you got the mail!
Yes, o yes indeed, it was a good day!
What an amazing gift to have received! The seeds are beautiful in their own right. Look forward to watching them grow vicariously.
I know, I was very excited but also amazed at how pretty those seeds are! will keep you update to date for sure..
I got mine too! Such a nice mail day!
How thoughtful.
I have never heard of those varieties before but they sure look “pretty” 🙂
