I am new to gardening. I have some seeds that I collected last fall and was wondering if you can tell me what seeds I should be planting NOW. Starting indoors &/or outdoors. Also all these are flowers.
thanks

What seeds are you planting now
tam - do you mean to start indoors or outside in the garden?
And are you talking flowers or veggies?
I have morning glories ,datura and cockscomb that are just coming up inside the house under lights. I planted Gloriosa Daisies outside in a prepared bed last week.
Tomatoes,peppers and eggplants are about 4 weeks old inside the house under lights and have already been repotted once.
I'm planting practically anything right now. I'm not sure how things go in your zone but here we plant perennial seeds at virtually anytime of the year except at the hottest and coldest points. Hardy annuals are best planted here in the Autumn but will do just as well sown in Spring.
Right now I have Violas, Agastache, Dianthus, Snapdragons, Petunias and a couple of Primulas at seedling stage in a cold greenhouse.
I have planted some Snail vine, dbl dautra,tomatoes,and lady slippers. So far about all of them has died except the lady slippers. I have been so busy that I forgot to water them or they don't get enough light, so I guess I'll have to wait until I can plant them outside. I didn't nick the snail vine seeds which I think I should have but will try agian. I am trying to grow them for a friend of mine as a surprise. I am affraid the seeds are harder than my head, and that is saying a lot lol.
I haven't planted any annuals yet, as our last frost date is so late. I have perennials under lights, but they are pretty small, and won't bloom this year, of course, except for the Valerian. I snitched some seed from a garden, not having the vaguest idea what they were, and they are growing like moss. I don't even know if they are annual or perennial. Should be interesting!
I've started in the basement under lites, 11 different varieties of tomatoes, datura,hycianth bean,brugs,pasiflora,coleus rudibecka, and alot more to go.
