Default Seeds

The sweet peas, nasturtium, and alyssum are cool weather plants and
you'd be better off waiting till the fall to use those. I have a
feeling we're going to just come into blazing hot summer, as this year
the entire winter was a very warm version of spring.

Bird of Paradise seeds need to be scarified and can take years to
germinate, then from 7 to 15 years to flower! Have fun!

Seeds! I got some cool seeds at Walmart. Lemon basil, lettuce-leaf basil.
Morning glory Star of Yelta, moonflower. Rosie O'Day alyssum. Cleome Rose
Queen, nasturtium Cherry Rose. Columbine Dragonfly hybrids. Sweet pea,
Eckford's Finest Mix. I yam so happy!

Oh and they have new cacti and succulents (at least since I've been there.)
And a new line of Hawaiian seeds and plants, including orchids in bags.
Nice-looking plants, though they're drying out. Bird of Paradise seeds,
they are so cute, they have little fuzzy orange tops.

And they have some glazed terracotta pots that are neat--the tops are
regular terracotta, and the bottoms are glazed in different colors.

Can you tell I haven't been out and about much lately.....getting thrilled
about Walmart??
