New seeds, couldnt help myself

Lavender Haven was having a sale on their summer seeds so I bought a few more. I got leeks, spring onions, pumpkin, watermelon, onions, butternut, gem squash, beetroot, zucchinis, peas and green beans (A different variety than what I have)

Since our summer started off very hot and dry my plants suffered from it. Not to mention that most of my tomatoes were killed off by Verticulium Wilt which is a bacteria that cant be killed by a fungicide and most likely came with the plants when I bought them. (So annoyed but cant blame the nursery you dont notice until the plant is a bit bigger) But after calculating the days till harvest of my cucumbers and tomatoes I have decided to plant again and pray that I beat the frost. I had dreams of filling up jars and jars for canning but I dont know if that will happen this year. Keep your fingers crossed.

Back to the seeds, so I bought all those seeds I'm not sure where I will plant all of them because my garden space is limited so I am going to have to buy containers. But those are vegetables that we use and eat often and I really would love to try and grow them. Not to save money but for the sheer better taste of home grown vegetables. And Its a hobby, how long do you have to garden before you can say its a hobby? Well I think its a hobby. Im not sure which seeds I will try to grow now or if I should wait until next year? But I am going to try and grow a plant or two indoors in winter So I'll see how that goes. The plants that I plant in the containers I will move indoors when the frost starts and I think that it will do well in there, at least I hope so

Hope everyone is having a good weekend
