Thanks Mary Ann for Doug Green's web site. It looks like it has lots of information on catalogs. I can't wait to look at it in depth.

Tina, I'd check in with your local extension agent under county office listings in the phone book, or just google, county extension office. They will have the latest info on your last frost date, and how to go back through the calendar to determine your proper seed planting schedule.If they can't help, send me a note.

I want to try having some cold frames (hoops) over my raised beds this spring so I can get a jump on my planting! It was so wet and cold last year, that a lot of our plants just didn't have enough time to fully ripen. So...I'm looking into doing this!
I am also considering putting my tomato plants in 5 gallon buckets on the sunny side of my house where we don't have any garden beds, but lots of sun. We'll see what the hubster says!
I got all my heirloom seeds last year from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds (http://rareseeds.com/). Their catalog is gorgeous!!!

Here's a photo (not that great, but ok) of the Museum of the American Indian in DC. They have a Three Sisters Garden. For our inspiration!

Jonnie,
Seed savers has nothing but heirloom seeds. They have a great website, and great company.
We too are expanding. Right now we have two hoop houses about 15 X 20, and plan to add more hoop houses. We also used raised beds. This helps so much where we live with so much rain. Hoops are wonderful, the plants stay cleaner because mud is not splashing up on them. Easier picking too in inclement weather.

| We will be starting all of the tomato plants from seed. Last year we did half and bought the other half from a nursery. All were heirloom varieties. The store bought seedlings all ended up getting blight. The ones we started did not. |

I am actually going to try to direct sow some tomato plants. A friend of mine did so in ND of all places. They had a bumper crop in spite of tornado force winds, too much rain, etc.
