I had a couple of Sweet Peas seeds last spring I tried growing early, 3 I think, and they were a couple of years old. They did not come up, so I tossed the dirt into the bed where I would have planted them and Guess What? You are so right! One of them came up. I was smiling away that day when I realized what was growing! It came up late, but flowered and gave me a few more seeds to work with this year.

Kelly, I feel for your daughter. We have done something like that ... but it was driving the 5 hours to the cottage, only to have the same 2 inches of snow we had at home. One year went sledding on a hill of ICE! Dangerous but fun. But other things were fun ... first and last time we walked across the lake, about a mile. Of course that was about 7 years ago. Here is a pic of that ... I'm not in the picture. Just my kids and others in the family ... a little out of focus ... it was cold. Burrrr just thinking about it.
