I've been going through the catalogs also. One thing I want to do is buy enough seed for 2-3 years. I can store the extra seeds in a cool dry place and I'll have something in case of emergencies- such as crop failure; I hate when a favorite variety becomes unavailable because of crop failure!
In order to have 2-3 years' worth, I have to know how much I actually use each year- so I've been making those lists.

What a squash! 
Britesea, keep in mind, when hubby retires you can get more tended in garden (maybe?) --- or will you two be travelers?
Somehow, I think you will not be gone long during garden season as you do so well with the use of the veggies. Some of the pkgs have so many seeds -- more than most of us use in one season unless it's quickie stuff--lettuce, radish, etc. My house has a lot of porch rails and I'm thinking I'd like a planter I saw that just hangs on & over the top rails. Only for herbs....good light on back at one end and it's by kitchen.
So, the squash makes me want to go out and harvest!

Just watch that rooster to be sure he doesn't start pecking your squash!

I am currently in limbo. The strawberries and raspberries appear to have finished, and the black currants aren't quite ready yet. Everything else is still growing.

@Mini Horses my DH is a little nervous since my you're-retired-honeydo list is running about 7 volumes now...

Cook them up and make a cordial or something. I wonder how they'd go with my water kefir.
