I used to use T&M in the 80s and early 90s, before they got U.S. Corporate fancy-schmancy - seed quality seems to keep deteriorating while their prices keep rising.
Never heard of Crosman Seeds - it's on my favorites list now. Thanks
It's not that I hated Promise, or that it didn't grow; actually the nurseries here sell innumerable flats of this cultivar for winter; it just didn't thrill me.
No annual asters in my neck of the woods (they're not good for winter and cook in summer); not even perennial asters except our native one.
But, my Rudbeckia 'Tiger Eye', Cosmos 'Cosmic Orange' and Zinnia 'Profusion' are pumping out flowers now. And the Echinacea 'PowWow Wild Berry' has its first bud.
