You guys are making me so hungry for blooms! I am very excited to eventually see the night and day snapdragons...I was pretty excited to get them in the swap. This year, like last, I got a late start because I thought we were going to move. We might still move this year, but I am not going to let this year go by without planting some seeds! Normally everyone around here says to plant the last week of May, so I planted about two weeks late, but oh well. It's all an experiment for now, I suppose, but below is a list of what seeds I planted this past week. Not all of them are from the most recent swap (in fact, probably quite a few aren't since I tried focusing on planting as many older seeds as possible before they become infertile).
(I will update this on my laptop in a minute with member names tagged where I can)
Lobelia, Fountain White -
@bxncbx
Moonvine (Moon flower) -
@QueenDreama - (I haven't seen you on here recently, I hope all is well! I'm really looking forward to seeing this Moonvine!)
Pea, Super Sugar Snap -
@RickCorey (I threw a tomato cage in the giant pot that I put these in, but I haven't researched again whether or not they need it--I forget!)
Vinca, Jaio Dark Red -
@bxncbx
Ipomoea Purpurea (Morning Glory), split/feathered purple -
@Luvsgrtdanes - I got SO MANY great Ipomoea seeds from Ronnie, but I'm trying to keep the seeds pure, so I am only growing one or two this year, collecting seeds, and then growing 1-2 different varieties next year, and so on... (I had to chuckle, the description actually reads "spit"/feathered purple - love it!)
Hibiscus, Hardy -
@HeavenlyFarm - must be from the second swap since you couldn't make the most recent one...I'm looking forward to seeing you at the next All Seeds Swap, by the way!...
Painted Daisy -
@ediblelandscapingsc - makes me think of my dog 'Daisy'...
Poppy, Hungarian Breadseed -
@KarenHolt (I'm really looking forward to these, although I hope it doesn't self-seed too much or my backyard will be full of poppies next year!)
Pansy, Swiss Giant -
@bxncbx
Gayfeather -
@IJsbrandtGA
Squash, Jarrahdale -
@EricaBraun - this was the squash that Dave and Trish recommended on one of the ATP podcasts, so I've been excited to try it for awhile now...although I actually planted it 10 days earlier than the calculator said to...
Poppy, White Linen -
@patrob - from beta swap, I think
Nemesia, Paintbox -
@bxncbx
Zinna, Cut and Come Again Mix -
@EricaBraun , I think?...
Columbine, Black Barlow F1 -
@GardenQuilts - I think I remember reading somewhere that Columbine seeds don't germinate well after the first year, so I have my fingers crossed (they are 2015 seeds)
Parsley, Moss Curled (Organic) -
@bxncbx
Nasturtium, Climbing Phoenix -
@Acacius48 - I'm really interested to see how these climb...I have to remember to go to the store and pick up a trellis for this!
