Since my stepdad has become fully disabled, I've decided to take over the responsibility for our garden. I've helped in the garden all my life, but this is the first time the entire process..including planting, is up to me. Unfortunately, I have zero income (the reason I live with my mom and stepdad in the first place). I *can* manage to cover a few SASEs with help from my mom...but ordering seed packets from catalogs unfortunately isn't possible for me at this time (with the factoring in the shipping and handling charges and 2-3 dollars per packet).

Thanks to a friend, I have some corn I've already started, but I'd really appreciate any variety of squash, carrot, cucumber, melon, or tomato. I wouldn't turn away any type of seed though, honestly. I'm willing and eager to broaden my exposure to different plants, and through canning/freezing our garden is what provides a good chunk of our food every winter.
