I'm sitting here with my spring garden wish list, a seed catalog, Doug Welsh's TX Gardening Almanac, PlantFiles on "speed dial," a cup of strong tea and I'm more confused than when I started.

I'm getting conflicting info from all three sources and I would love to add your seasoned advice into the mix before I place my seed order.

What should I direct sow, what should I start inside under lights, and what would I be better off just waiting to buy at the nursery?

Here is my list:

Gaillardia Arizona Sun
Butterfly Weed
Gazania (perennial)
Nasturtium
Catmint
Rudbeckia Cappuccino
Salvia Fairy Queen
Shasta Crazy Daisy

Thank you for your kind help!
