First seed purchase

First post, yay!

Today before work, I ran to Home Depot to check out their selection of seeds for the garden. After spending under $25, I have most of the vegetable seeds I wanted, and a few different flower varieties. Here's the haul!

Flowers
Aster Giant Princess Mix (Burpee)
Sweet Pea Sweet Dreams Mix (Burpee)
Dahlia Unwin's Dwarf Mixed Colors (Ferry Morse)

Vegetables (all Burpee)
Cantaloupe - Hale's Best Jumbo
Carrot - Short 'n Sweet
Cucumber - Tasty Green Hybrid
Gourd - Small Fancy Mix
Lima Bean - Fordhook No. 242
Pea - Burpeeana Early
Pea - Super Sugar Snap
Pumpkin - Jack Be Little
Squash - Early Acorn Hybrid
Squash - Vegetable Spaghetti
Tomato - Roma VF
Tomato - Super Sweet 100
Watermelon - Crimson Sweet
Zucchini - Burpee's Hybrid

Now I need to find a good pole bean, a good bi-color sweet corn, another tomato variety, a large and a medium pumpkin variety, and maybe some brussels sprouts. And a lot more flowers.
