Planning on Including New Seeds and Plants Never Cultivated Before

I like to keep my garden diversified and not grow the same thing every year.  Although I do grow some of the same things each season I always like to add at least one new plant that I haven't grown before.  This year is different and instead of one new plant or seed I am going to be adding five new plants which should make for an interesting year.













I purchased them about a week ago and they just arrived today.  Radishes, peas, and a few lettuce seeds are what I have at the moment.  I did get some potatoes and strawberries which are also going to be grown in the garden this year hopefully.  I also have celery seeds which I am going to be planting this spring along with lettuce, spinach, peas, and possibly radishes.

When the new year came around I actually didn't think I was going to buy all these new plants, but I thought it would be better to add some new for a little bit of a challenge.  The strawberries and potatoes will come later in the springtime because they are plants rather than seeds.  They don't send them until it is about time to put them into the soil.
