I planted all kinds of seeds today, lots of different varieties of veggies. Some unique varieties too, like red and green Malabar Spinach. These are not a true spinach but look and taste like spinach. Is loaded with nutrients too. It climbs on a long vine, and unlike real spinach this type loves heat! I am planning on training it up poles and maybe around my deck.
 
Most of the seeds I am planting were leftover from last year. That means some of them may not germinate. But that depends on the species and variety. Some veggie seeds germinate almost as well from season to season, some even thousands of years later! Scientists have sometimes actually sprouted seeds stored in Egyptian tombs thousands of years later!
 
My mother used to grow tomatoes but she got tired of doing it and we stick to fairy gardens now which is just as well considering the fact I don't even like tomatoes anyway. The deer sure did though. They kept trying to eat her tomatoes which is why she had to build a fence around them that we now use as the fairy garden area. We learned that when deer get hungry enough they'll basically eat anything they can get ahold of. :lol
I planted some cherry tomato seeds. You can never go wrong with those! I once trained one of those babies into an 8' tall, "tree". One cherry tomato plant can often produce many hundreds of Tomatoes!
