About half of my 90+/- containers have sprouted, but it's a bit odd that it's been a week since my last sprout, despite some nice days.. Due to budget constraints this year I raided my seed box and sowed seeds as old as 15 years old lol. So I'm wondering whether there's no more sprouting because of old seed, or they're just not ready. I do have some new seeds out there too, so I do expect more germination to come, even from some of the older seed.

I've got Queen Anne's Lace, several varieties of cosmos, dianthus, paper daisies, strawflowers, echinacea, impatiens, petunias, annual phlox, poppies, a couple of rudbeckias, a couple of salvias, snaps, sweet peas, several zinnias, asclepias incarnata and lobelia cardinalis. Of course my lettuce and arugula are well under way, and I have zucchini, cabbage, cukes and dill sprouted too.

Sandyslopes, I don't know if you ever tried aquilegia before, but they are kind of notorious for being slow germinaters. As a matter of fact, when I sow them, and nothing happens, I have saved my containers a full year, keeping them moist etc., and have had them sprout the NEXT year (although I've also gotten some in the fall). So if you get nothing at all try keeping your containers. Or at the least, dump them in a garden bed - I do this with all my container just in case.....
