Had to put off ordering my seeds and trees until my tax refund gets here. My budget suddenly got tighter, and it was either wait 3 weeks, or cut out 90% of my order, so I'm waiting. The refund should be here soon, though.

My order this year is going to be a combination of market crops and prepper crops. Things like apples, cucumbers, kiwi, and peppers for market, and things like witch hazel, hulless oats, and several varieties of beans for stocking up. I might not plant them all this year, in fact I don't have room yet for everything on the prepping side of the list, but I want to get the trees planted and have the seeds on hand just in case. I've already got a big box full of seeds, including several I saved from last year. There was something satisfying about watching my piles of squash and beans grow last fall.

There's a shop that buys produce from local gardeners to resell, so I won't have to worry about actually running a produce stand. Last year, they were surprisingly short on cucumbers and zucchini.

I am very interested in your hulless oats. How large a patch do you plant. etc.? Any and all information would be welcome. ;-)
