| A well meaning friend gave me more seeds (Sigh). These are some bizarre American meadows wildflower seeds. It says it contains a mix of red poppy (which I know LOVES COLD),cornflower (ditto), annual baby's breath, cosmos and more.
I hate mixed seeds, OCD I guess. I don't want to plant them all and have the cosmos, etc. come up and be 1) TOO EARLY, they grow so fast or 2) be zapped by frost (though hardy, it's happened before). Of course, I examined the seeds.. there's tiny black dots (I figure may be safe, poppies? who knows? There's things that look like yellowish C shapes, which I know I've grown before, can't recall. There's some what appear to be marigolds, which I'd wait on. Then there's the "others". Am I being WAY too OCD?? Should I plant now, wait? Wildflowers obviously resseed, so it seems safe, but they reseed when not in little insulated warmer milk jugs. It says plant after frosts. I could sprinkle on ground, but I won't know what's what between other plants, weeds, etc. Sorry this sounds so crazy, sometimes these plants get nuts! THANKS for any advice!!! |

| I'd wait a few more weeks and then direct sow them where you want them. The "C" shaped seeds could be Calendula. I know the feeling about Seed OCD, but many of these are pretty hardy especially as Spring isn't too far away. Check Trudi's website - wintersown.org for more info. Good luck, Ann |
