More people are interested in backyard vegetable gardening than ever before. The most economical way to get a vegetable garden started is with seed, the old-fashioned way. For the proce of 4-6 plants, a whole packet of the vegetable-of-choice can be purchased. It's not too early to consult last year's notes (you did make notes, didn't you?) or compile a list for this year. Are your seed starting supplies in order?--clean, serviceable flats and pots, seed starting mix, domes for germination, and most importantly seed. It's certainly not too early to shop for those desirable varieties for both vegetables and flowers. I placed an order for the few things I was not able to find locally last week. I have already heard that there may be limited quantities of certain seeds, and that people who wait to shop at the last minute may have to substitute a lesser known variety for their first choice. (On the bright side, this can also introduce you to your new favorite!)

So start shopping early, and make sure you get your favorites!
