Jennifer, that is not very many considering some people plant 200 or 300... I have very limited space and believe me what I have in my beds now is keeping me busy. I'm not sure if I'll even do any wintersowing come Jan. 2013..By the time you buy all the potting mix, you can almost buy the starter plants just as cheap. You've heard of the slogan about "Letting the bus companies do the driving for you? Well, I'm in favor of letting the flower growers/garden centers/nursery do it for me. Of course, it is my freedom to change my mind. LOL!
