I have had great success with seeds so far in '09. We have started zinnias, cosmos,sunflowers and hollyhocks. I am going to study up and try to start some perennials. Oh yeah, I forgot the morning glories, moonflower vines, wild flowers and nasturtuims. Oh how I love to see a plant start to stick its head up.

I have never had success starting Lavender from seed. Black eyed susan vine, yep, started one last year and am hoping that it reseeds. Last night I looked up starting columbine. I think I would like to get a lot of those going. I love Cleome! And do you know, the nurseries here sell them, one big one in a pot, for 3 to 6 dollars??? Fortunately, I have some that reseed.

I started some of KeeWee's cleome seeds, too. I had no idea that they got that tall. I've never had them before! I also heard that they have thorns or prickers. I didn't know that either.

I love foxgloves. They are happy flowers. I also have cosmos, love lies bleeding,moonflowers. I'd really be up the creek if I didn't have a place to put them outside. Most of the flowers will get planted over the next week or so,then I can move the veggies out to harden off. Time to give the grow lights a rest...
