Seed Starting Time!

Well, it's that time of year again....seed starting time! We're about 4 weeks away from the last Zone 5 frost date. I've spent the past few days getting seeds together and ready to germinate. As of today I've planted up the following;

• 24 cells of Dwarf Lupine
• 43 cells of Flowering Kale
• 20 cells of Snake Gourd (my 2 1/2 year old picked these out at Pesche's)
• 9 cells of Marigold Jaguar
• 9 cells of Delphinium (*)
• 3 cells of Butterfly Weed (*)
• 6 cells Blanket Flower (*)
• 3 cells Coreopsis (*)
• 6 cells purple & white Cosmos (*)
• 4 cells Yellow Pear Tomatoes
• 5 cells of Dwarf Curly Parsley
• 9 cells of Purple Ruffle Basil
• 2 cells of Common Chive
• 3 cells of Lavender Lady
• 15 cells of Orange Cosmos
• 9 cells or Marigolds (regular)
• 3 cells of Cleome
• 18 cells of Zinnia
• 6 cells of Hyacinth Bean (*)
• 4 cells of Oceana Blue Salvia (*)

230 cells total - with 2-3 seeds per cell = about 600 seeds total.
