You are starting impatiens from seed Keith? I am impressed.
I used to try that, gave up on even buying them as annuals after I moved west 20 miles and ground is too hard and dry.

Vinca here is getting root fungus if too moist, I picked up 4 at Lowes last weekend, (discount orphan rack). 2 are dead, one is looking wilty when soil is moist of the remaining 2, so I dumped some peroxide in them. They like a bit less water I think, the ones I got my daughter that get top watered with good drainage are doing better than the ones I planted here this spring. My dianthus have mostly lived but I think all my planted vinca are all gone, I flood water a couple of times a week, deep soak, and they just don\'t like it. The ones I bought are for daughter\'s flowerbed.

Those peppers and basil are pretty Kitt.

I have dianthus and phlox blooming now, lilies, cockscomb celosia with its long lasting blooms, echinacea and salvia, that\'s about it, pretty hot for everything else.

crinum lilies, cockscomb celosia, sun faded echinacea, my sunbleached rose, and I think that\'s a little red dianthus down below it
