Played in the Dirt Today

Look what I got in the mail yesterday!


I can pull of this many experiments because at the place I order from, the small packs are 35 cents, and the big ones $1.  Cool, eh?  I'm so excited.  There are 48 varieties of plants here, from herbs to flowers to veggies, ranging from incredibly common to exceptionally unusual.


Such power in such small packages.  These are Immortelles seeds.  Aren't they cool and funky looking?

Here is what I did today.


This is only a small fraction of seeds to be planted, but not all are suitable or in need of being started early.  Some are soaking on paper towel  on styrofoam trays inside plastic bags to germinate, and others are already in soil.  Some will take at least  month to germinate, others days.  A green clock counting down the days until spring.  :D

In case you were wondering, in these pots are:

Anise
Angelica
Basil (Genovese)
Basil (Lettuce Leaf)
Catnip
Chinese Wolfberry (Goji)
Columbine
Fenugreek
Fuller Teasel
Immortelle (Everlasting)
Lemon Grass
Pumpkins (Jack O Lantern)
Pumpkins (Lumina)
Rue
Valerian
Yarrow (Pink, White, and Yellow)
