I considered doing a super long these last months in review post, but... honestly, that sounds horrible. And a lot like homework. And since I didn't freeze my ass off in Wisconsin for four winters (and graduate magna cum whatever in two majors) just to go right back to writing crap I don't wanna write...then yeahhh, pass.
So alas, you'll have to go without a succinct summary of the previous months' vegetable observations and scientific findings.
...scientific findings, please. I'm dicking around in the dirt playing with seeds.
Speaking of seeds:

All my 2017 seeds are from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds (apart from a few random gifts/seed rack finds.) Having no stockpiled seeds from previous years (and having an immense desire to grow pretty much everything) I knew I needed to buy a lot and grow a lot in order discover what I wanted to buy and grow a lot of in the future. There's a legit justification of my buying habits somewhere in that sentence, I swear.
So while I will not be ordering exclusively from Baker Creek in years to come, they are a great OP/nonGMO seed company with a diverse catalogue where I could place a single, embarrassingly large order (merry xmas self annnnd you're broke) and then get planting. Also, I found the product reviews at Baker Creek to be extremely helpful; I intend to return the favor by reviewing the ones I grow this season.
So here's my OFFICIAL FULL AND DAMN LONG LIST of 2017 SEEDS. Not all will be grown out this year (whatever a 'year' means in so-cal) but most will. Herbs & flowers not listed.
