This thread brought back memories. Years ago one of my favorite catalogs was the Thompson & Morgan Seed catalog.
I was really in to annuals. What I did not realize was that it was really the Thompson & Morgan weed catalog!
The plant descriptions were so enticing. At the peak of my seed obsession, I was planting (starting indoors) over 30 trays of annuals each year, hundreds of varieties:)
However, many of those annuals would come back year after year ( without invitation). Very difficult to eradicate.
Some of those volunteers are still with me:)
