9. I noticed territorial seed company was wiped out!

I usually get most of my packets of seeds from Portland Nursery. In fact, I did just that in late January.

I grabbed my boxes of seeds and my territorial seed catalog and figured out what seeds I needed and what new varieties I’d like to try. There are always some varieties that sell out fast, so I wanted to make sure I checked out Portland Nursery first before ordering directly from territorial.

I pretty much had everything I needed in hand by early February. Territorial shipped my order quickly.

I have occasionally haunted their page since then, hoping to find some Nova tomato seeds. They must’ve had a crop failure this past year as that variety is simply unavailable.

Just for giggles I went on their page this weekend, thinking that since Portland nursery is closed perhaps people are hitting up territorial directly.

And boy, are they. I’m sure there were some seeds somewhere on that website that had some availability but I didn’t see anything but the words “sold out”!

Really glad I got some when I did. I’m in round 2 of my starts and will shift over to the warm weather stuff in May. My rack is full of starts (I arguably started my tomatoes too early this year) and I’m transitioning out everything but my peppers, tomatoes, ground cherries and Mexican sunflowers (tithonia) just so those items can have enough room to grow.

(By the way, I use two plastic photo boxes to sort and keep my seeds. Each box has three rows with separate photo sized boxes to hold seeds. My brain loves organization so this works well for me!)
