winter dreaming

I took an inventory of my seeds today. It's snowing and I'm home with a sick kid, so I decided to go through my seed drawer and take stock of what I have.

What I have:

English thyme, sage, white icicle radish, summer squash, sweetie tomato, anaheim pepper, jalapeno, anise, matt's cherry tomato, arbol chili, bibb lettuce, sweet banana pepper, california wonder pepper, chamomile, orange sun pepper, garrison watermelon, little gem lettuce, white onion, old virginia tomato, soybeans, lima beans, asian green lance (I'm not even sure what that is), yellow pear tomato, purple glow in the dark pepper, dinosaur kale, daisy, schoons melon, bitter melon, eva's burgundy lettuce, dill, zucchini, basil, flax, mixed asian greens, arugula, peas, broccoli, pole bean, epazote, cabbage, snap pea, cantaloupe, cilantro, chiogga beet, painted mountain corn, silver fir tomato, sugar baby watermelon, echinacea, large cherry tomato, cherokee purple tomato, buttercrunch lettuce, oregano, pepperocini, habanero pepper, eggplant, red russian kale, spinach, purple cauliflower, hon tsai tai, purple kohlrabi, starbor kale, brussel sprouts, rainbow chard, romaine, chantenay carrot, cosmic purple carrot, parsley, painted lady runner beans, burgundy okra, black popcorn, martian red corn, goat horn peppers, chinese leek, brandywine tomato, chinese red noodle bean, red onion, cucumber, white cucumber, italian tomato, evening primrose, nasturtium, purple pole bean, minnesota midget melon, garlic, purple orach spinach, amazon chocolate tomato, radish


I have an exceptional amount of seeds. I'm not sure how this happened, but between overzealous catalog orders, and gifts, and seed swiping at the local botanical garden I have amassed quite a variety. There is of course, no way I can grow all this.

However, when I look out at the snowy yard and squint my eyes just so, it's so nice to imagine...
