Holly--

As I wrote before--only 2 seedlings of the Cream-White Marigolds came up.
They are now pretty full of leaves,

Like you--I seeded about 3 more seeds of it in each cell.
Eventually--2 more seedlings came up. Don't know if they are from the first
seeding or the second.

Just took some pictures---

1--The bigger two first sown seedlings and the 2 smaller ones from later (?)
Ignore the seedlings behind them. Those are ornamental Peppers.

2--Jill's monster Zinnia seedlings--man! They are overshadowing everything else.
I will have to dig those out and pot them up. These were the dark brown, oval seeds.

--Self-gathered seeds from a deep blue Petunia. I loved them! looks like they all "took'.
First time I have grown petunias from seed....

Jill--a few of your "Frilly Ruffle" ones came up. None of the cascade blue ones did.
But--your date on this package was from 2010.

I still have to seed all the ones that say--"seed 6 weeks before you can set them out".
Don't know offhand what these are.... need to get on it, though.

FLASH!!!!
Bonnies is having a big sale this coming week on the smaller pots of all veggies,
herbs, Mints, peppers, etc...etc.... 5 for $10. Go buy them already growing
so you won't have to grow it from seed.

I got 2 of each parsley (multi-stems in each pot) --Two Dills--(same..)--3 Rosemary
plants (lost mine again this winter--and 2 Sweet Mints.

Now I HAVE TO dig up and amend the small veggie bed on the side of my shed.

There were beautiful Tomato plants there too--but I am growing my own from seed.
Sure looked tempting.

There will be, again, a "Black Friday" sale going on starting Thursday.
The aisles are full of wrapped, secret boxes.
I believe one of the items will be buy one--get one free of Arbor Vitae. Not sure.
See the ad which should arrive in Wednesday papers. or--Google it.

OK! Enough excitement............. G.
