I just bought some seeds from the Seedman too.

People here are receiving seeds and starting them already, and i've just made an order! Mostly, i've waited because i'd be too tempted to start things earlier if i got them earlier, and i wanted to start things like petunias and impatiens a little later than last year. Anyway, here is what i've ordered from Vesey's: Pepper Orange Sun Swiss Chard Orange Fantasia Cosmos Sonata Mix Osteospermum Passion Mix Petunias O Canada Mix Petunias Ramblin' Red Petunias Tidal Silver Wave Petunias Tidal Wave Hot Pink Campanula Dwarf Pink Snow Pansies Mix Pansy Rhapsody Mix Impatiens Tempo Mix Impatiens Seaside Mix Hemerocallis 'Startle' Lilium 'Centrefold' (3 more bulbs - i can't wait for the one i already have to multiply!)
