Hi! I have been vegetable gardening for something like 30 years, but am still learning all the time, which is one of the things I find most fun about gardening! Lately I have become interested in perennials and have begun trying to grow some from seeds, corms, divisions, etc. I am one of the original board members of the organic community garden where I live, and have been using part of my plot as a "nursery" for my flowering plants, including Delphiniums, Dahlias, Penstemens, Pyrethrum Daisies and Shastas. My latest project is alstromerias, which I have finally coaxed to seedlings of about 3" high, (where they have stayed for over a month). I have a light stand where I grow African Violets and start seeds, and it seems to be always full of one thing or another.
