Seed Inventory

So with an interest in gardening, we have collected many seed varieties.  Sometimes, you just don't have the room to plant all the seeds you bought or you bought the seeds and they were simply forgotten.  As we inventory what is still here at the farm, we can project what we want to plant and make a seed order for this planting year.  Creating an inventory spreadsheet is an important exercise that allows you to see your varieties and quantities at a glance.  In my spreadsheet I added a "notes" column because I want to know where the seed came from.  We saved a few varieties of bean and squash and this is put in the note column.  The seed orders are nearly ready to be sent, a first indicator of the coming season!
