Good to know, Kathy, I'll change my labels. I got decent germination indoors in my 2nd batch, which now looks better than the first (pic 1). I had white Daucus carota last year, no idea so far if it self sowed though people said it would. I'm still pulling up Ammi majus white seedlings from a planting 2 years ago, just got a huge patch out this weekend (even though I barely got outside at all).

The frost blanket is doing its job. The Lupines, Digitalis and perennial Salvias are very happy even though we've had nights in the very low 30's a few times since putting them out. Days have ranged from low 40's to mid 60's. I put out a few Campanula pyramidalis just before we left this morning, to bee on the safe side, I left some in the house, but I really don't think there's anything to worry about.

I'm still amazed at how late this spring is. My new 'Tulip The first,' an early species tulip, is blooming in the sunniest spot, just starting where it's shadier. The Daffs are just barely getting going, so many don't even show buds yet. The sticks in the daffy bed are marking some bi-color daylilies I want to move .

Meanwhile, back in the city, I WILL start more annuals this week!!! Promise!!! (Lolol)
