I took the plunge! Yesterday, March 3rd, I planted my seeds in my garage trays. Since I'm going away For a week beginning March 10th, I won't water the seed trays until the day before I leave, and hopefully that will be enough water to sprout some of them when I return.

I realize that's a bit early but I can't wait. Maybe all the snow remnants will be gone by the middle of March and I can cut back my clematis outdoors.

If these seeds sprout, I can make them grow and that will give me colorful annuals throughout the spring and summer.
