My little geraniums are finally looking like little geraniums. I'm afraid the petunias will have to carry them until they bloom...probably August. I don't have a greenhouse. I should get one. Maybe next year...have to watch for sales. In the meantime everything stays in the house until it gets warm enough to harden them off. At least I don't have to agonize over the freezes.

Funny how we're focusing on those geraniums. Here's the rest of my SWA-OP report:

Bergenia cordifolia : w/s - gemination on 4/6
Cheddar pinks: w/s - germination on 3/26
Cupid's Dart: w/s - germination on 3/29
Delphinium 'Pacific Astolat': w/s - germination on 3/29
Dianthus 'Ballad Blend': w/s - germination on 3/26
Italian alkanet 'Blue Angel': w/s - germination on 3/26
Petunia 'Supercascade Lilac': sowed inside - have 2 dozen nice plants about to bud
Phlox, Stokes new hybrids mix: w/s - no germination yet (nothing on any of my phlox)
Primrose 'Pacific Giants': w/s - germination on 4/2
Pulsatilla dwarf, violet: w/s - no germination yet
Salvia viridis: w/s - germination on 3/29

Veronica 'Sightseeing Mix': w/s - germination on 3/29
Viola 'Penny Purple Picotee': sowed inside - have about 15 seedlings still in a flat
