Cool season seeds for flowers...

I started yesterday, in my Parks seed starter...
1 Calendula
2 (ABC) Ivy geranium (wonderful!)
2 (DEF) Ringo Scarlet Geranium (both geraniums from Swallowtail)
3,4 Gaura 'The Bride'
5, 6, 7 Candytuft 'Dwarf Fairyland'

And a big flat of snapdragons...

These are all plants that have proven reliable for the spring/early summer. I direct sowed nasturtiums.

  1. I like nasturtiums, especially in the vegetable garden where they can add some color. The climbing type are also nice in a hanging basket.

    I believe I have discovered the key to not buying so many flowers in the winter time. Stop taking my daughter with me when I go to garden centers! She says "daddy, can we buy some flowers?" and my brains fall out. {laughing}
