Seed orders for our Fenway Victory Gardens plot

Image: The Cook's Garden seed order, Feb. 2004. Last week I shared a hand-drawn map of our plot in the Fenway Victory Gardens . Along with the map, I found two seed orders, one from The Cook's Garden in Pennsylvania and the other from the Vermont Bean Seed Company in Wisconsin. From The Cook's Garden catalogue I ordered a selection of vegetables and habitat perennial mixes, but I can't find either mix on The Cook's Garden website or in the current year's catalogue. From Vermont Bean Seed Company I chose only vegetables.

The catalogues I have on hand are The Cook's Garden and Botanical Interests. What flowers and vegetables are you considering for your garden spaces?

Our plot in the Fenway Victory Gardens

For two years in the early 2000s we had a plot in the Fenway Victory Gardens . We inherited a back border of lilacs, several blueberry bushes, and a sprouting pear stump. We do not have an outdoor garden in New York. Our only plant space is the window sill in the living room.  What does your growing space look like?
