Re: New Garden Additions for 2009
I just have to remember to contact him a little bit before the sale to remind him.
At the last meeting of the Lepidopterists Society I was able to get seeds for some new plants as well. I hope to have luck propogating those.

Re: New Garden Additions for 2009
I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya.
Do you use those mini seed pellet things:
THESE....
I've always had good luck using them. And I used to find them pretty much every where right about now....Most nursery's, home improvement stores, and even Wal*mart...

Re: New Garden Additions for 2009
How funny that you should ask about the peat pellets. I absolutely swear by them. Nothing has shown as great a results for me as they do. This year I bought some of the tomato plant sized ones. They are huge. I have milkweed seeds and Crimson Clover already sprouting.

Re: New Garden Additions for 2009
LOL Great minds and all!
I loved those pellets. I used them in my sun room in MN to start all my seeds in!

Re: New Garden Additions for 2009
They are also great because they add organic matter to the soil after you plant them. I just started a whole new batch yesterday.

Re: New Garden Additions for 2009
Yes they are and you don't have to disturb the seedling in order to transplant either...

Re: New Garden Additions for 2009
There are still some challenges to using them though. You really have to be careful how much you water them once they are started.

Re: New Garden Additions for 2009
I think that the official term for what sometimes happens to mine is damping off. The little stem just turns kind of brown at the base, shrivels up and it dies.
