March 15-21

Here’s what I seeded this week:

  • Achillea-Cloth of Gold (40). Love this name. Also ordered Cassis, but there was a crop failure.

  • Asclepias-Wild Orange Type (20), Snowy Milkweed (20)

  • Gomphrena-QIS Orange (40)

  • Echinacea-Bravado (20), Green Twister (20)

  • Eryngium-White Glitter (40)

  • Solidago-Golden Baby (20).

    Rudbeckia-Green Wizard (20), Cappuccino (20), Denver Daisy (20), Triloba (20)

A few dahlias are starting to sprout: Thomas Edison, Ben Huston, Cafe au Lait. So glad I’m not heating a greenhouse yet! It’s been cold (negative last night) and we got over a foot of snow in the last week.

Thomas Edison dahlia is the first to sprout! Once they sprout, put them under lights and start to water them regularly.
