THE CUBBIES WON!!!!! The Goat hex is g-o-n-e! Now I have to deal with winter baseball withdrawals and wait for Spring training. I'm not as much into football -- too much drama and not always the good kind. Baseball is like apple pie to me
Oh and Daniel, the Braves are on a rebuild - so just wait and see - we're getting our mojo back!
I am sad, maybe a bit embarrassed that my seeds were not top picks. I really have nice flowers, but I did not offer seeds for everything I grow because I either could not figure out how to collect the seed (like geraniums!) or I could not speak for the germination rate or didn't have time to list everything or well...I grow ho-hums.
I have never been very successful growing things from seeds, so this is a real walk of faith for me. I have thrown away hundreds of starter cells -- hundreds! So, I am hoping I can get it right soon and enjoy what everyone else is growing. This year I think I am going to set my little starter cells in a tray of very shallow water and keep them moist from below. I just found out this year that most of the seeds I purchased should have been stratified before planting. I'm assuming that's the biggest mistake I made. I have tried the refrigerator thing and I was thrilled to see that a bunch of my seeds sprouted. But, when I pulled them out of the paper towel and put them in dirt they all died. Go figure. Then, I can never figure out how I am supposed to determine between a planting depth of 1/8"-1/4" so maybe I'm planting too deep. I think I might try DND's drought tolerance test too.
Hope y'all have a good day! I am on my way outside to work on pruning the holly bushes (OUCH!), weeding and pulling up dead lawn. Yay. No rain here since August 4th.
