I started my winter sowing
56 containers so far! Mostly columbines, a new agastache variety, sea thrift and penstemon for the front pink/white flower hill and some more peaches n dreams hollyhocks! Actually also creme de cassie hollyhocks and black hollyhocks too! lol I love hollyhocks! I don't have much space left to work with so many others will be given away to friends or family.
I have a few that I'm doing that I haven't had luck with or never tried yet. So cross your fingers for bells of Ireland, pasque flower, blue bottle gentian and prairie smoke geum!!! ( I managed to snag one of those geums at a flea-market and I hope it comes back as I can't get them to grow from seed!)
My little helper is my puppy who comes running at the sounds of me punching holes in containers with the drill (she's afraid of cars somewhat still but this she finds intriguing!). She also likes to shove her nose in the rubber-maid as I scoop potting soil out of it and into containers! LOL She's cute but also a distraction!
