I thought the first time WS thread was getting a little long so...We came from here: HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com

I've updated my efforts on another section of Dave's and wanted to keep you all in on the latest here in my little queendom.

Gathering 2L soda bottles and labeling supplies. DH has switched over to frozen concentrate orange juice from fresh orange juice as an economizing measure. I switched from my one soda a day in the single serve bottle to 2L. Saving all those bottles and a friend is saving his. I'm still combing through back posts here and on other sites for any info I may have missed. I think I'm at the "lets jump into this pool" stage of my WS adventure.

I just got a bunch of seeds from the fall sale at Select Seeds: hollyhock, Italian alkanet, ferverfew, standing cypress, bronze fennel, prairie glow, branched coneflower, cleome, old Mexico zinnia, calendula, hyacinth bean, tassel flower, cornflower, morning glory (heavenly blue--my favorite), nicotiana, blue lace flower, custard & cream four o'clock, sunflower, coreopsis, gold star bidens, salvias, dayflower, and some petunias. I have some hold over seeds from last year and will probably buy a few packets of some nepeta seeds when I find a variety I want. I have a lot of beds to fill in and it sure will be a savings if all these seeds grow into what I want!

I'm sorting through what I have and deciding what to start over Christmas break and what to start a little closer to spring. I understand the veggies are started closer to spring so I'm saving those for later. I've got a lot of hold over tomatos :). I'm nervous that WS won't work but excited that it just might!

Have I missed any "must haves" on my seed list?
