Flowers! 🌺 🌷 🌸 🌹

Is it time? I have a bunch of things (too many for my availabie space) picked out, but haven’t ordered. I need to make decisions.

sure you can order them any time! i was waiting for floret flowers to have their seed sale and that happened today, so i got a few packs from them, some from johnny’s, and some from renee’s garden. i’m especially excited about this mix from renee’s – it’ll be nice to help me get some more varieties in without too much fuss.

i definitely ordered too many seeds for my garden size though, ah well.

@madgeylou would it be ok if I DM you about flowers so not to bore everyone else here?

I’m baffled why you would think we’d be bored by flower talk on a flower thread. :thinking: I’ve really enjoyed hearing about people’s cut flower gardens! I can’t even get a cosmos to sprout but it makes me want to try again when I get my greenhouse set up.

Just saw this… :heart:. Seeds are cheap, it’s space that’s the problem when I want like 20 different things.

Do seeds keep for a few years or do they expire/need to be planted this year?

In my experience seeds will keep for quite a few years as long as they don’t get wet or too warm. As the years go on the germination rate will drop off though.

I just looked at their site and most stuff seems to be sold out, but holy moly is it gorgeous!

Wow. Our blueberries are thinking about maybe swelling at the tips of the twigs.
