Seeds, Seeds, Seeds

I LOVE seeds and sometimes I get excited and buy way too many.  I think I have a problem but each seed packet represents a new plant(s) and that is thrilling for me, especially in the spring when it is almost time to plant outside. I even joined a seeds of the month club and that is what my children gave me for Mother's Day last year!! I was in the garden center at Menards yesterday and I had 10 or 12 seed packets in my hand and then put them back because I have so many seeds already.  It is such a hard thing to do.  I will just use the seeds I already have at home!  Happy Planting!
