Oh WOW, there’s so many flowers on it!
Azalea, you’re a month or so early, but we still haven’t had a freeze yet this winter so sure, why not start spring now.
i ordered hella seeds today. i got way more snapdragons and some gomphrenas and some other fillers like pampas grass and yarrow and basil. so excited to transform 50% of my yard into 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.
I’m baffled why you would think we’d be bored by flower talk on a flower thread. 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.
Ha. It was just boring stuff about how to start seeds but I can post it!
Gardening thread, for the rest of us who’s like more information on starting flower seeds?
I forgot about that one!
happy to dm or chat here or in the garden thread
I just looked up Gomphrena. The list is getting long!
Just saw this… . 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!
Spring doesn’t officially start till March 20. Things got started early around here. On the down side, tomorrow’s high is 86f/30c.
