     Ok, I need some help here. I am thinking my "impatiens" are really "Vinca."  Check out my new photos, and someone who knows please tell me. I bought them last year, unmarked, and someone told me they were Impatiens. However, I put them in full sun, and they really did thrive, and I know from reading that Impatiens like full to part shade. I was just looking on Burpee.com, and it seems that I may have learned something.  I saved a crap load of seeds that came out of little dried up pods, and want to plant them this spring, and would really love to tell people what they really are. Let me know. THANX.

     I am, as of 3 hours ago, ON VACATION!! I am headed to Cancun with my wife and some friends on Monday for 5 nights. I was hoping my Burpee seed order would come before I left so I could feel like a kid on Christmas opening it, but it hasnt arrived yet. I stopped by my local K-mart store on the way home, and found that thier Patio section is well under way, and they had a little seed stand set up. I bought some Convolvulus seeds, and some Gaillardia seeds.  When I return from vacation, I will begin constructing my seed - starting station. I have two different ideas for it right now. I just need a day in the garage to do some measurin' and cypherin' to figure out which way I want to go. I will be sure to post pictures of the finished product.

Forcast for Cancun next week is 82-86 degrees and sunny.  Water temperature good, margarita temperature -- perfect!!
