| This is my first year planting flowers from seeds, which I did during the last weekend in March and the first weekend in April.
They've been taking up every inch of space in my house, until I finally took them outside to stay (unless it freezes) this weekend. Does anyone else finding themselves terrified that something will happen to the their babies the closer it gets to planting them? I think my cats ate some of my petunia seedlings...some of my biggest and healthiest and I'm starting to get paranoid that they will make a buffet of my plants or the temperature will suddenly plumet overnight and kill them off or some juvi teenager working on building his police file will take off with them for kicks. Almost there...I'm so excited!

| I know the feeling, I get it every year. I lost some of my seedlings to the dry hot air here in Texas as they were hardening off out on the porch. Lost a few when the dogs ran through the flats and flattened them. And of course there are always the June bugs, which start swarming in April around here and can chew through about a mile of plant material overnight. Mice ate some. But for the most part I still had more seedlings than I could plant in a weekend and, darn it, I had to take a day off from work to stay home and finish getting them all in the ground. Cheryl |
