kqcrna--you're pretty tough! I always try to baby unsuited plants along, although I have to say lupines would be a long shot in our sultry climate. So too bad--they are so lovely elsewhere...

grampapa--I plant two varieties in each bin--usually things that have similar germination needs, etc. Can't think right now what I have in those bins... I bought those bins at Lowes--a group of 5 of different sizes was $11. I looked all over for clear lidded bins. Now I see home depot has some Rubber Maid ones--more expensive, though, and that I don't like-- although probably better made than mine.

I'm going to try the cow-pot thingies in a bin. You're right. Wouldn't want to 'find' them, would we?!!

I just ordered a bunch of seeds from John Scheepers Kitchen Garden Catalog. I love that catalog. Such nice writing. http://www.kitchengardenseeds.com/ And I love their ideas for 'Collections'...

In 2006 I used vented aluminum baking pans with vented plastic bags for covers. Worked our pretty well but my kids chided me for the messiness (as if they are neat!!)...
