Gear up for Green- 2010 Edition

Well, this week I sat down and made my seed purchases for this year. I'm still working on a planting guide for my little beauties, as there are several that I am going to have to purchase pre-sprouted because I somehow always seem to mess up the germination, but here's what we have on tap for this year-
Fruit & Veg:
Far North Melon*
Detroit Dark Red Beet
Anaheim Peppers
Serrano Peppers
Jalapeno Peppers
Zucchini
Petit Gris de Rennes Melon*
Clemson Spineless Okra*
Black Cherry Tomato
Early Girl Tomatoes
Rainbow Mix Indian Corn
Assorted Ornamental Gourds*
Blue Moon Pumpkins
Autumn Gold Pumpkins
Stawberries (2-3 varieties)

Herb:
Rosemary
Sage
Anise
German Chamomile
Dill
Parsley
Basil
Oregano
Cilantro
Chives
Horehound
Lemon Grass
Comfrey

Flower:
Mission Bells California Poppy*
Starlight Sensation Scented Stock*
Giants of California Zinnia*
Echinacea Purpurea*
Texas Bluebonnet*
Hollyhocks
Daisies
Lillies (both Day and Easter)
Roses (I'm excited to see how many come back from last year's rose cutting madness, courtesy of Sybil's garden)
Lilacs (I'm especially excited about these because I spent ALL summer last year nursing my little starts from Ana's old house... and they made it through with a tiny sprinkling of leaves. I'm hoping they come in strong this year!)
Lavendar
Peonies
Sweet William
Daffodils...As well as a few surprises.

*New this year

Not making a return:
Cucumbers (they're too hard to grow in my soil/water conditions, and so cheap to buy!)
Onions (They're kind of boring to grow, I must confess, and take up too much room)
Radishes (turns out we don't like radishes after all! Who knew?)
Cantaloupe (I traded it out this year for a rather intriguing European Melon)
Sweet Peppers (I suck at growing peppers, so this year my goal is to master the hot ones, and move on to the sweet next year)
Watermelon (takes up too much space, that I'd rather spend growing delicious Gris de Rennes Melons... yum yum!)

I'll officially be starting seeds in about a week or 2- as soon as we get this whole renting the house nonsense cleared up- so to tide you over, here are some pics from last years misadventures in gardening.
