Got it!  Thank you P.  I suppose I could have figured that out on my own...  Laziness and apathy...  I swear they will be our un-doing...

Ah JKB, I doubt that there is truly one lazy bone in your whole body!!  I know I had posted this link before, but it truly is a great site to check out.  Burpee seeds, it's a great company with an excellent website.  (Non GMO seeds)  They have all sorts of tips which are designed for your particular area just  by entering your zip code, and just a ton of gardening tips, videos, etc.   I refer to it a lot as I am truly still a novice gardener myself!  Check it out, they also have a good deal right now for purchases, you might be seeing their $10 off coupon listed now on our header even, code START13 I believe with any $50 purchase.  If you haven't accumulated any compost, there is also a great sale right now on their organic fertilzer (40% off!!)   http://www.burpee.com/gardening-supplies/fertilizers/espoma-plant-tone-1.5-organic-fertilizer-prod001197.html
 http://www.burpee.com/
They also have some great seeds for container gardening if your garden space is limited, new for this year is a container sweet corn seed, now that sure is a novel idea!!  I might even try that one because my garden space here is somewhat limited, and regular corn seeds/planting take up way to much garden space for what I have available for use!  http://www.burpee.com/vegetables/corn/corn-on-deck-hybrid-prod003168.html?catId=2013&trail=

Happy 2013 Gardening Season Everyone!

Correction:  They may have changed that sale code today to TENFIFTY for the $10 off your order of $50 or more.

Thank you so much Enlightenme and I will definately check that out!  If things turn out, meaning I get my first choice of jobs when I retire in September, my wife will not have to work and will just be "farmer Amanda."  She would love that and I hope I can make it happen...  That is, if we are still here in September, which I don't even want to talk about right now.   >:(
You have to let it all go Neo.  Fear, doubt, and disbelief...  Free your mind.

Excellent!!  Good for you and glad I could be of help.  Here's another site I reference as well.  They have been doing organic gardening since way before it was cool.  One of the true pioneers for sure.  http://www.rodale.com/topic/organic-gardening
Here's an interesting recent article from them.  "If the Economy Collapses, Gardening Will Save You" http://www.rodale.com/edible-lawns-and-saving-money?page=0,0

There are several places one can purchase seed saving envelopes on the web, and also wanted to remind you all that baby food jars are great for saving seed in, (once they are dry).  Makes it a bit more fun when a person figures out a way to store them that is not only practical but fun at the same time.  It is so important to not only save seed, but to plant the right kinds of seeds in the first place.  Many people do not realize that not all seed can be re-generated.  We are in a sad state of affairs now that Monsanto has pretty much taken control of the food supply.  For those that do not know about this there are a lot of informative videos on Youtube regarding this subject.
