    Me, too!!!!

    Campanula carpatica 'White Chips'
    Petunia hybrid 'Balcony'
    Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote'
    Primula acaulis 'Gold Lace'
    Mixed Pelargonium (for Thanksgiving centerpiece, LOL)

    Also threw some Basil 'Dani' in for fun. Nothing like fresh lemon basil in early April! This variety is much more cold tolerant than others and actually will take a light frost. Does incredibly well on windowsills. If you're jonesing for green, try it.

    I started some seeds too, like campanula medium, Japanese balloon flowers, columbine, and petunia. I'm hoping to start rudbeckia, shasta daisy, etc. in late March.

    It better warm up fast, I'm running out of room. And neighbors are going to wonder what I'm growing in here with the lights on 18 hours a day. A pic looking out the kitchen window this morning:

    Started lots of seeds on Feb 23 and 24 (indoors). As of today I have sprouts in marigold, convolvulus, and morning glory. Wheee.

    Grat photo, David!

    No seeds for me this year, because I'll be traveling a lot this spring. I DID get my first plant order in the mail this week, though, something I'd been searching for that I thought would probably sell out fast (Beesia deltophylla, an evergreen groundcover). And I'm thinking about ordering some castor bean seeds from T&M, since the local retail places refuse to stock it - they don't want it to fall into the wrong hands because it's very poisonous. I can probably start those in early April and have them ready for the garden when the ground is warm.

    Limbing up shrubs and cutting back rampant vines today has convinced me that spring is a ways away - it's cold and raw out there. I envy you seed starters, you've got the best way to while away the last days of winter.

    Me too. But, I opened the envelope of Moonflower Seeds to find, are you ready for this? four crummy seeds! FOUR! So I soaked them in water overnight, nicked them too, and planted. But to get only four seeds. I'm ticked! sheez. How chinzy can you get?

    I've got 150 containers out back wintersowed and at least 300 more to go before May 1st.
    Some buried in snow, some on top of snow. Expect to see some germination the first week in April.

    Should have tons of seedsling for the swap again this year in June.

    Debra Boston, that's disgusting on the number of moonflower seeds in a packet. whose brand are they? I suggest you go to a Brooks Pharmacy and get a packet there. I just picked up one last week, white moonflower.
    After reading your post I opened mine to see the number of seeds. 15 seeds in the packet, but get this. 13 look normal, 1 is a weird shriveled up black and 1 is a large tan that looks like a critter chewed half of it off.
    Anyway, that makes 13 seeds of NK lawn and garden seed packet. Price on package says $1.89, but I'm pretty sure I paid only $.99.

    Hope to see some of you at my plant swap this year, Bigdaddybondo, got a whole bunch of different types of tomato seeds to WS this year again. Do you remember those tiny little things of tomato seedlings I had out back in my fenced in yard?
    Once they got potted up and planted they took off like a rocket and grew to over 4 feet. Had some really great heirloom, yellow and purple tomatoes from them and saved seeds for this year.
