Good job on your garage. Mine now has bird seed everywhere. I must have 200-300 birds in my back yard right now. We back up to woods. Sheesh.
I have my hardy Hibiscus seeds soaked and potted and in their little jiffy greenhouse. I've got six varieties of those (hopefully) but since hybrids don't come true from seed, I must wait to see what I actually get. Fun ... and I guess I'm most excited about those. The other things I have coming from seed are lilac, cleome, daturas, prairie petunia, false indigo, 4 o'clocks, globe amaranth, raspberry wine monarda, tall red and blue lobelia, red and yellow verbena, lantana, native american bellflower, gaillardia, hyacinth bean vine, dwarf cockscomb ... and probably some other things I don't remember right now.
That Echinacea sounds beautiful!
3-4" of snow on the ground here. I'm cold.
