What are you fixin' to do, Loddy? Are you figuring on planting a garden or planning to store them for use in the future for planting or barter?
I'm thinking about getting seed packets from Lowe's or Menard's when they go on sale after the season and vacuum packing them for use next year. Normally I get my starts for the garden from a nursery called Main's that opens up every spring in New Haven a couple of miles east of me, but I'm guessing this will be the last year for them. I've got a feeling when they pack up their trailers and head back to Flordia this year, they'll be gone.
I save the flats and plastic transplant containers for future use in starting my own seedlings. I've got a big, south-facing window in my den that I could use as a little greenhouse to get the starts going. I normally plant simple stuff like peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, zuchinni, etc. In the past, bugs always got my beans & peas, coons & groundhogs get the corn. Bunnies will get young cukes, but I made some 6" high by 6" dia cages out of 1/4" hardware cloth and use them until the plants get to the top of the cage. Apparently the bunnies like the real young starts.
Mom's joint is like that. About 1 inch topsoil and hardpack clay underneath. I've never taken out any grass clippings, leaves or any organic matter at my joint in 30 years. The topsoil is over two foot deep on the east side of my house. About 6-12" everywhere else.
