Stir-fry promises

Here's a picture of some of our seed a-sproutin' for spring. The chinese red noodle long beans are crazy tall in the tin can and to the right of it. The egg carton has our own saved seeds of cherokee purple, black cherry, black from tula, and druhzba tomatoes, as well as other purchased seeds of brandywine, red pear, yellow pear, black plum, purple russian, thai pink, and my sister's golden jubilee tomatoes. The tallest in the back of the picture is a royalty purple podded bean, jing orange okra in front of that, and straightneck, crooked neck and lemon squash in front of that. The orange juice carton has sprouted moon and stars watermelon on the left and charentais melon in the mid-section. Our plan is to grow some of each seed in intervals, we'll be planting more in a couple of weeks.

In case we start a-wondering why we go through with all this work, a picture of a little of last year's harvest...
