I'm working today, a free-lance job, but had a couple of hours this morning to do a little potting. Each little cup of Lobelia made 9 small clumps of seedlings in cell packs. I did the 3 blues today, tomorrow maybe I can get to the whites, and some of the others that are really bursting out.

Also today, I separated Petunia Easy Wave seedlings from seed I harvested. They germinated at the same time as the pelleted commercial seeds, but are smaller because they've been so crowded. I only kept the 9 biggest.

And I sowed more. It turns out I have one seedling of Salvia Indigo Spires. Also S Coral Nymph germinated very sparsely and I want more. I really packed both cups with seeds, I hope I get at least a few this time. With the Coral, I had a packet of commercial seed, so I sowed that, too. I'd like a couple of dozen, so far I have 8 from 2 batches.
I also started Ammi visagna green. I'm still waiting for Stachys macrantha and Agastache Golden Jubilee. Everything else that didn't do, I tossed.

My daughter took a flat the other day so I have a little room again. Everything needs to be re-arranged again by height, maybe tonight...

And the best news of all: the plumber got the water going! There is still a lot of snow, but at least the well thawed. So we're going up Saturday morning early, even though we have to be back in the city by mid-afternoon on Sunday. Yippee!!!
