Seed Porn

I have decided what I am planting for this season in the garden.
Why seed porn? The title is something a witch I love to read calls her seed magazines, and I loved the idea; so that's what I am calling them now.

I have selected all my seeds for this year.
While doing this I have noticed something about myself, I am an excellent green thumb,( I get it from my Mom), but I have been growing plants that I really don't use sometimes. Especially in the herbs department. Sometimes I just grow them cause they look so awesome but then I have nothing to do with them. And then they go to seed, without me really using them or saving them.

So this year I have decided to only grow what I am surely going to use. I have already looked at many different menus, and have several different recipes, for preserves and jam. So with those in mind I decided on what I am planting.

So here are my plans for the year, I am going to do mostly mints for herbs:
  • peppermint (I plant this every year)
  • spearmint
  • catnip/catmint
  • lavender
  • basil
  • thyme ( I plant this every year)
  • rosemary ( I already have this potted in house)
  • chamomile
  • lemon balm
And some others are:
  • calendula
  • bergamont
  • stevia
  • sage (i plant every year)
  • feverfew
  • chives (i plant every year)
  • oregano (i plant every year)
  • parlsey (i plant every year)
  • goldenseal
  • pennyroyal
I also have onions, garlic, leeks, and my other garden veggies. I'm looking into perhaps getting some birds or a rabbit this year as well, I'll let you know how that goes.

Have you looked at your garden plans for the year yet? let me know in the comments.
Be Blessed
