Happy Spring! It certainly is taking it's time to feel like spring consistently, but hey, at least it is officially here and that gives me hope! There was no better motivation for me yesterday to get moving and actually plant something.
We don't have a greenhouse to start seeds in, but we do have a grow table that I use to start a few extra things I want to try. Most all of what I transplant (snapdragons, feverfew, statice, yarrow, ageratum, rudbeckia, dianthus, gomphrena) is bought from a nearby organic farm. They grow amazingly healthy and hardy transplants, and it is hard not to rely on them. It's a nice system that we have worked out, but eventually it will be nice to transition to starting more things myself.
Yesterday I planted a green and white nicotiana, frosted explosion (a grassy filler), and butterfly weed. I have plans to start some asters, verbena, and a few others within the next week or two.
