    From Select Seeds, I ordered Cornflower 'Black Gem', Sweet Scabious 'Black Knight' and Blue Woodruff. Also, they send a free packet of seeds with every order and my freebie is Zinnia 'Red Spider'.

    The Chocolate Peppermint Geranium won't be shipped until late March.

    Okay, now I am getting ready for winter to be over and spring to arrive....I have seeds to plant. :-D

    Sounds like a great bunch of seeds you got there Toni! I love "black" flowers and those red Zinnia's sound good too!

    I'm with you Toni, I tried some Morning Glory seeds, they germinated good, but not being able to get them in and out they are very leggy. I am going to get my tomatoes started, I found an old icebox bin with a glass top, I can but the cell packs in that and if it is going to get too cold just put the glass top on at night under our plant shelter.
