My Alyssum seeds (from Jill) I WS a few weeks ago have germinated. They are in a 2lb grape container.
I wish I could find a bit brighter spot for the container now--but I know the curious squirrels will
have to immediately investigate it and trash it. Should have sowed them right in the beds...
Right now all 6 of my little WS containers are sitting against the siding on my patio table under the roof.
I don't think they get any sun at all there......;o(
The 4 sparkling water bottles (1qt. size) with Columbines and Blanket Flowers are not showing anything.

It is also time I took out the seeded 6-cell-pack of Marlene's Blue Poppies from my fridge.
I am sort of lost what to do with them next. They are already in soil--so do I just put the cell pack
outside and wait for them to germinate? She said they were annuals. What exposure? Never grew Poppies this way.....

Marlene!!!!! YOOOOO--HOOOOO!!!!

Inside--the only seeds that are not up are the black and purple Ornamental Peppers. Wassup?
Everything else is growing well. Daturas are about 3" tall already. The yellow ones came up slower
than the purple ones, but they are now "popping"...

1&2---Here's all my seeds.....Left side and right side. Daturas are the big ones in the back.

3--My Moon Vine is growing like crazy! Hardly know what to do with it till it can go out.
The smaller vine is the ONLY surviving cutting I took of the Blushing Suzy vine last fall.
Many of them were growing--but slowly died out. I think I did not water them enough-too hot...maybe...

--Two of my Tomatoes are so-so--barely up. Don't know why so slow. I only planted 4 cells.
Don't want to plant more--I will, maybe, buy one or two Hybrids from Bonnies--or not..
Don't want to deal with the Blight again....may have it anyway--at least I know to spray them w/DACONIL
and not to use the overhead sprinkler to water them. ...

Still waiting to plant all the Romaine Lettuce starts. Too cold to be out--or too wet..
