Hi all...been a long long time :)

We were having much difficulty with our IP so I didn't bother trying to trade with anyone after my first attempt....just never knew when we would be down again...argh!!
I haven't sown anything all winter and just started since Mar. 24th with the following:
Impatiens balsamina
Stocks 'Imperial Giant'
4 O'clock
KMOTGG
Melampodium
Strawflower
Hyacinth Bean
Anemone tomentosa (Grape-leaf Anemone)
Gilia tricolor
Sweet Pea
Borage
Kohlrabi 'Early White Vienna'
Lettuce
Broccoli 'Green Goliath'
Cleome
Nicotiana alata

...and I direct sowed some Heirloom 'Dutch Grey' AKA Purple/Blue Podded Peas" on 3/17 and today some Mesclun Mix.
That's all so far :)

Hey Vera, always nice to hear from an oldie! If I may call you an oldie, I'm sure you know what I mean ;)

I sowed just a few things I knew would benefit from being out earlier in Winter, and took my time with others. Seeds I knew would work with 2-4 weeks chill or none at all were just finished up about 10 days ago so I wasn't far ahead of you...

Happy growing, I hope you have a good season. And something looking more like Spring soon. I was trying to tame a determined clematis earlier that I know will swallow a shrub again, half way done and I grabbed DH's hat (from DH's head) and charged for the house....it was pouring, and I mean bucketfuls. Oh, for a few dry days.

Hi, Vera. Glad to hear that you are still ws. Looks like you are sowing mostly annuals and veggies this year.

I finished my perennials today and will do a few hardy annuals tomorrow.
