I do love your selection of seeds! ;-)Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067132532095325169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357865578794109155.post-87452653774009725222010-01-16T13:18:16.454+01:002010-01-16T13:18:16.454+01:00Thought I'd pop over and wish you a Happy New ...Thought I'd pop over and wish you a Happy New Year - discovered your lovely blog via Blotanical - we're based up in Brittany and have certainly had our fair share of snow this year - how about you?

I needed to guess what was what, but it looked great. As for me, I am absolutely not ready for a new season. We didn't have any snow or cold temperatures. I feel like I miss some hibernation period before starting seeding, planting, etc. This is the very first time in my life that I haven't seen any snow by the middle of January. Anyway, good luck with all those seeds!I am curious about Crambe cordifolia. Mine has been just sitting for two years without any considerable growth.Tatyana@MySecretGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15230255354868127650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357865578794109155.post-76046292805760070102010-01-15T02:11:57.736+01:002010-01-15T02:11:57.736+01:00I've got a pile of seeds that I can't use,...I've got a pile of seeds that I can't use, too. But I hesitate to give them all away because I MIGHT find a spot for some of them someday :-) And we do have a break here.

Good luck with your chores in the meantime.VWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17539135776275337661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357865578794109155.post-20265254055474675242010-01-15T00:48:53.762+01:002010-01-15T00:48:53.762+01:00Yaaaaaaaaay - life is looking more colorful !

Last year I started the foxglove and Echincea paradoxa. This year the might bloom, I feel sure the foxglove will, it grew well the first year. There will be pictures posted. I agree about the tobacco too, hope mine seeded about, I forgot to collect seeds. I think you should mix all of your old seeds in a bowl and broadcast them out in a prepared bed when the soil warms and see what comes up. :-)<br />FrancesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
