Kathy, you are such a dynamo! I'm pretty happy with my over-all this year, also a few disappointments, but you are the big winner here just in volume. And you're running out of room?! Hard to believe! Btw, I will have a piece of Cephalaria for you (I hope!) once things thaw out. My D Pam's Split did well this year, but I have been keeping a list of various things we've mentioned, will dmail you...

In CT I found small bags of peat moss/perlite seed starting mix, brought them to the city for the annuals :-)

Celene, thanks for the purple seeds. I can send you a clump of the yellow once things thaw out.

Do you think the I balfourii will get the same blight that's been killing the I wallerianas? My I w's were destroyed last year, but I had a few volunteer balfouriis not far from them that were fine. I read that the New Guineas now get the blight too, and so I'm a little worried about counting on the balfouriis to fill in, in case they get it too.

Hmmmm... Always something...
I still have a few coir pellets, and plan to use them for tomatoes. They did fine in them last year, I think they'll grow in anything! But that will be the end of coir for me. Meanwhile, just out of curiosity, I tried damp vermiculite in cups under the dome for a few things, and Dianthus Zing is the first to tell me it likes it.
