Zinnias, sunflowers, cosmos (can't ever have enough!), and a bunch of other annuals to fill in where the perennials won't bloom.l

I have spring sown sprouts of these three:

Snap Dragons
Morning Glory Cameo Elegance
Morning Glory Heavenly Blue

I recently sowed these:

Coleus Rainbow
Ranunculus (bulbs)
Sweet William
Allysum Carpet of Snow
Zinnia Lilliput (2nd try, 1st batch didn't make it)
Bachelor Buttons (2nd batch, 1st batch planted out, made it through freeze)
Wild Bergamot
Evening Primrose
Kohlrabi Purple Vienna (replacements for those lost)

Since the weather was so warm here for a few weeks, I switched to "spring sowing" several weeks ago (at least in my own mind, I did, lol :)
I do my peppers, tomatoes, spring vegetables that I do not direct sow which are most Asian this year
Zinnia
Cosmos
Tithonia
morning glory
moonflower
orange thyme
balsam impatiens
basils
sunflowers
marigolds

Oh, boy. I didn't write any of that down yet this year. Things are still in their original containers, and I have not kept up on taking notes. But there are OODLES of things! I actually spring sow all the annuals!

GGG

This is my first year too, but just this past weekend I sowed :

African daisy
Basil
Cosmos
Marigolds
Peppers

It was difficult for me to wait until April to sow them, but now they are predicting snow for us for tomorrow night, and I am hoping I didn't jump the gun on these.

I did some Salvia last weekend that was a late seed arrival. I may do some more bachelor buttons real quick since my dog knocked over a couple of containers the other day. I have some seeds coming from T&M but I think from that bunch I'll only do the sweet peas. I still need to check out what I lost during the cold snap. It rained all day here yesterday so tonite I'll do that.

I really, really, really want some Mimosa Monkey flower seeds. They were sold out from T&M. Last night I got caught up on Gardeners Diary & one lady had them in a container. I just love their color & spottiness! I must find those seeds! As soon as I'm done here I'm off to search for them.

I'm sowing
Heavenly Blue morning glory
Scarlet O'Hara morning glory
Moonflower
coreopsis, because I forgot to WS it (darn!)
maybe zinnias
maybe cosmos

We're going to get a blizzard tonight...Looks like I'll finally get a day to hibernate. I have so much preparation to do in the beds, and I don't even know where I can put everything! Starting from scratch. I'm doing a ton of morning glories to get some green on while everything gets established...

last night I did

4 different kinds of zinnias
marigolds
portulaca
swan river daisy

Apr 6 to present:
Salvia - Red cocchinea
4 O'clocks - a lot
castor bean
gaillarda
yarrow- achillea
vinca
Cal.poppy
Cypress vine and cardinal vine

Last night it rained and this am still raining hard- so I went out this am and covered everything. It's only in the 40's here.
I'm using a different soil this year which I hope will result in better than 50% germination which is what I usually get. I bought it from a retail gardener I often frequent. He sold me (quite inexpensively) the same seed-starter he uses in bulk. It is very light and fluffy and has 1/2 the amount of fertilizer.

Remember that Lunaria, Money plant, is biennial. I have never been clear on what blooms when because I have them all over. I'm guessing that if you sow NOW you will have next spring blooms. I'm not sure that's the case for fall sown plants.

This would be a good time to sow gomphrena and celosia. Have fun!

....speaking of Lunaria. Mine is still not germinating. There's a patch of some spent ones down the road a piece next to the road in front of an abandoned lot. I'm tempted to walk on down there and see if the 'coins' still are holding seeds....hmmm?

Vera

Everything I didn't have time to winter sow!

Go for it Vera!

Zinnia
Sunflowers
Celosia
Rest of Marigolds
Morning Glories
Veggie patch
Piles & piles of other things that I can't remember what-all is in that bin...

alyssum-up
cal. poppies-up
tithonia-up
celosia
cole vegetables and salad-up
marigold-up
end of April or IF it warms up before then-'dreamland' zinnias

I just got done sowing all I mentioned. I think sometime this weekend I will sow in 36" planters the following:
1st planter- Italian Flatleaf Parsley, Miche/Mesclun Salad Mix, "Bright Yellow" Swiss Chard
2nd planter- Purple Basil, Broadleaf Sage, German Chamomile

I have one more 36" planter. I think I may transplant my Esther's Cherry Tom into that. How big around do Cherry Tom plants usually get? I was thinking of putting 3-4 seedlings in a 36" container.

Spring? What Spring? lol

Linda

My words exactly, Linda. At this rate we will be going from snowstorm to summer overnight. If I hadn't started my tender stuff inside I would have one container of 10 seedlings to plant out this year.

Next week, I plan on starting:

Aristolochia fimbriata, 'Dutchman's Pipe'
Basil

Senecio confusus, 'Mexican Flame Vine'
Solanum integrifolium, 'Pumpkin on a Stick'

I sowed some zinnias that came up and were destroyed by our recent cold front after the nice high 60's temps we were having. I just started another container that I will keep inside for a few days until things warm up. I also found some corn growing thanks to some squirrels who planted them in a few containers that I had taken the lids off of earlier. Now everything has lids (not caps) back on due to the cooler weather and critters. I had put out some corn cobs to feed the squirrels and they decided to plant a few instead.

The tops are off of:

Cupid's dart
all kinds of Zinnias (they want to be out of their pots)
Moon Flower (looks pitiful)
Nasturtium

Plastic is still on, but I have sprouts:

Coleus
Purple Wave Petunia
Oriental Poppies

In the ground:

Alyssum (covered with nursery pots during the frost)
