Today I was standing in the Dollar General Store line to check out with about 20 twenty-five cent packages of flowers. One woman said seeds never sprouted for her, to which others agreed. I gave them a quick encouragement and told them to put the seeds in a pot, cover it with a little plastic, and take the plastic off when they germinated, but to cover them up for a freeze. One lady made a U turn and said, "Thanks for telling me about the flowers!" I know what I said wasn't totally accurate, but I didn't have time for a lecture. I think this method will work for them.

I did veggies inside today. Tomorrow I will plant a few veggies outside: lettuce, snow peas, spinach, onions, parsley, and maybe a couple of others. My peppers and tomatoes and eggplant seeds are inside.

I was buying the large flower seed packages mostly for Winter sowing in 2009. But I will plant a lot now too. They have Indian Spring hollyhocks which should bloom this year, right?

We are still getting freezing nights and probably will for about three more weeks, now and then.
