I agree Peg,I just love it! I hope next year to have enough of them to toss down a bunch of seed for volunteers,this year I think the birds and myself got every last seed!...lol...But I will keep an eye out for them just in case! :) gardenmom,your containers sound GREAT! The price is definitely great! I am going to have to check BL for those,thanks! :) When to start is always a zone (and location in that zone), factor. People zones warmer than us can start before we can,even though at times freakish temps can mess them up too.I think it is safe for our zone to do the perennials first and than work on your annuals last. I will begin my annuals sometime in the middle of April this year. Starting them in March was a bit early for me personally,but some do start earlier and have great success.All my sprouts survived last year,but the running back and forth with my tender annuals was a bit more work than I like!;) I start all my tender perennials under lights,just to give them more time to mature,my season is way too short for somethings and I purchase no plants...well....not all the time...lol...so I figure why not have them just a bit longer in bloom!;) There is some great info at wintersown.org,there is a data base for our zone,the data comes from real people that actually ws these plants.I printed out the seed lists for our zone and sat down with my seed box,went through all of them and pulled out what could be ws,than the rest I didnt find on the list, I looked up individually.To my surprise,there were not many to look up after going through the list! I think I only had a handful of "not sure" ones,and those, I posted threads and asked about those particular plants at the ws forum ,most of them I got an answer on, and the others I just did under lights or ws'd them as an annual. It took sometime to really understand this part for me too,but after all that I got it pretty good now...at least I think I do,season 2 will definitely let me know! Of course I will make mistakes,but I am not so afraid of them this year,I have a much better understanding of the way ws works and always hold back seed! ;) Well I am off to see what goodies you have on your list,hope you had a great day at school!...I love teachers,you guys ROCK!;)

Hello! I know this is different but I am in a swap this spring and have certain wants I have to fill on GWers lists so I would like to trade some seeds for this swap. I have a big list so check my list out and see if there is anything you would be interested in. I sent you an email also. Please save a yellow dahlia with the black foilage for me too. I have lots of people who want the dark foilage. I have about 15 things on your want list so shop on my trade list heavily. Also I have about 1000 packets of seeds that aren't listed for me, so please ask if you don't see something. Thanks, Jenny.

Hi there, I am looking for seeds of Kiss-Me-Over-The-Garden-Gate plant (Persicaria orientale) I used to grow this lovely plant in my garden, but forgot to take it with me to my new garden. I would love to grow it again. Thanks, Ela
