I live in Upstate NY. The only citrus I ever see is in yellow cartons in the juice aisle. ;) I found basil seeds online, and Johnny's Selected Seeds. They have a lot of variety, I've found. They are a little pricier than most seed stores, and I've noticed that unless you get the bulk of your stuff in January/February, the commercial growers scoop everything up and it's out of stock. Hope that helps! Citrus?! I live in Upstate NY. The only citrus I ever see is in yellow cartons in the juice aisle. ;)

Haven't started on it. But I would like to try. Any tips for citrus? I want to grow some basil but can't seem to find any seeds in the shop. Got some coriander instead. Probably get a pot of basil and nip some rosemary from our neighbour's bush?! :P I’m growing my calamansi and chillies over here for the first time. Haven’t started on it. But I would like to try.

It's been a ton of work. I've had to slowly rebuild everything. I noticed you were "away" as I kept checking your blog for new posts and hadn't seen any. :( Now that you are back, I am eager to read more of your stuff. I also forgot to add your blog to my blogroll last night! I'm sorry-- I had it on my previous template but lost the information and have had to remember how everything was before. Ugh! I'm on it right now. Your blog is one of my favorites! Bonnie– thank you so much! It’s been a ton of work. I’ve had to slowly rebuild everything.

I cultivated the beds by hand for a few years. It was bad for my back, ow. we rent a rototiller. They are not terribly expensive. Or you can try and borrow one! ;) Ouch.

I had to just put a pinch on each because the seeds were so small. I am jealous of a rototiller. I have been doing everything by hand and my back hurts every night.
