Spring Planting

Submitted by stompro on Wed, 03/26/2008 - 8:55pm.

We are trying to start seeds this year for the first time. We purchased a bunch of seeds last summer from Gardenocity seedlover. I think we mainly wanted the herbs at that point, but we also bought a bunch of stuff to start this spring.

Basil, Sweet
Mint, Spearmint
Coriander
Coleus, Improved
Lupine, Russell's Mixed Colors
Celosia, New Look
Coleus, Carefree Mixed 25 seeds
Morning Glory Scarlet O'Hara
Morning Glory, Heavenly Blue Flower Seeds
Salvia, Bonfire
Petunia, Purple Mixed 15 seeds
Petunia, Bonanza Mixed Colors 30 seeds
Foxglove
Basil, Sweet, Purple Ruffles

I planted the coleus, petunias, foxglove, celosia and lupine on March 22nd. Nothing has sprouted yet, but I'll give it until the weekend before I start worrying. Although the lupine says that it takes 30 days to germinate, so that will take a while.

Last week I ordered another bunch of seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed company. They have a great catalog, 84 pages of heirloom seeds. They arrived today, and they threw in 2 bonus packets, bonus!
