Veggie seeds

Vegetable seeds for my tiny veggie plot. Ordered from T&T of Winnipeg
1).Straight eight cucumbers – Tried and true
2) Raven Hybrid Zucchini – last year I planted zucchini among the annuals and it did not like it. A poor show of leaves and no fruit. This year it will have a proper spot.
3) Squash, acorn table king
4) Northern extra sweet corn
5) Kale – easiest stuff to grow and so tender, unlike that in the grocery stores.
No pumpkin this year. I still have a freezer full of it.

Non seeds
1) A super duper sprayer to defeat the caterpillars on the high bush cranberry
2) Safer’s BTK insecticide – the caterpillars are going down!
3) Safer’s slug and snail stuff – expensive but the hostas expect it.
