I got that seed catalog in the mail last week,too! I intend to plant a proper garden this spring, so I got quite excited about the contents of the catalog.
It has been so long since I did the self-cleaning cycle on my oven, I'm not sure I remember how to do it. I will likely need to open the windows and leave the house while it does its thing.
Ooh! I can't wait to hear about and see the results of your proper garden growing adventure! Other than the garlic, the only thing I am growing is my own proper, normal scale garden, complete with purple, white, and orange mini pumpkins because I want them lol!
The smell of the oven wasn't that bad, and it was so fantastic to open it up at the end (after it cooled down), give it a wipe down, and enjoy the shiny cleanliness of it all. Which will last about five minutes at my house, but still, there was a bit of joy there!

Ha ha! Yes, a clean oven doesn't stay that way very long for those of us who bake and cook all the time.
