    Man...this is going to get crazy...my tomatoes are already trying to run the show in the shed. Sungold is in the lead!!! Will probably up-pot them this wknd. Have some other seeds on the way. By the way, found mexican sunflower seeds. Waiting for the new red bell seeds called Ajvarski. Haven't had much success with bells..Hopefully that will change this year. Just about everything in my garden is still green..not much has died this winter.

    The parsnip seeds are coming up and I've sown some erigeron for the 2nd time, the first ones i forget about them when they were coming up i forget to water them so they dried out.

    None !! I buy the started plants ! Don`t have time to do all that when the garden center has better plants that if I started them myself ! And I am 8 to 10 weeks ahead of the game ! $1.99 a six pack is cheaper than I can buy the seed !

    that's one hell of a deal. I've seen this kind of deal for little flowers from the hardware store at -50% off.

    Logan, you are going to love Tithonia if you have never grown it before. I received a free packet of cosmos several years ago, and have planted them ever since.
    May I congratulate you on your choice of flowers? :setc_089:

    Thank you, last year for the first time i grew Tithonia but it's a short one. It did ok but didn't grow to 30 inches as it said on the packet, but it did flower and they were great.
    I've been growing cosmos for ages now but when they're first planted out they're susceptible to slug damage but I've been very lucky so far. :)
