Before planting outside this time of year, it's necessary to know if each plant is perennial, which I don't offhand, especially bachelor button which could refer to several different sun-loving plants. If not perennial, are they able to handle frosts? In zone 9, you'll have a few frosts. Some plants grow better when it's cool, some when it's hot. By researching these things, you should be able to determine whether they are OK to plant/put outside now, or if the seeds would be better started outside in the spring. You had great success with them sprouting! In general, they look like they're leaning toward the light. I just planted pansies and snaps for winter too, they should do well until it gets too hot. Pansies probably won't live through summer, can't take heat or dryness. Snaps should stay alive if they don't bake too badly, seem to handle drying out much better than a lot of other plants, bloom almost constantly.

~BUMP~ HEY EVERYONE, I HAVE SENT OUT EMAILS TO ALL THAT HAVE REPLIED IF I MISSED ANYONE, PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL, THANKS

I would love to obtain some Asclepias Syriaca seeds! I don't have too many seeds to trade, but I have an over-abundance of Cassia Corymbosa and Cassia Alata seeds. They are wonderful to attract the sulphur butterflies! Let me know if you would be interested in a trade. Thanks!

Hi Fran, I would love to have any of the following. I listed quite a few in case some were gone already (not trying to be greedy). I only have a few seeds on my trade list but will send any of them that you want. I will copy this and email you also. Thank you!
