Lemon balm, feverfew, and garlic chives that was sown right before I left for SD have germinated. I think the lemon balm and feverfew are pretty much done germinating, but the garlic chives are still...thinking about it. (I KNOW that I put in more than just two seeds). Both lemon balm and feverfew are surface-germinaters, but chives need to be covered. Maybe that's a reason for the slight delay.
Today I put in: chamomile and bee balm. I think both of these need light to germinate also (well, we'll see). By the way, all the seeds, except the chives, are traded from GW. I'm also going to be putting in blue flax, celosia, and more forget-me-nots, but I need to look up sowing info for flax and celosia because I've never grown them before. The results so far has celosia covered (one to two inches of soil), and the same for flax. If I still have any soil (and pots) left I'll try marigolds too. I think they'll do better in pots because the snails congregate less, so hopefully it means that less will get eaten when they germinate.
Why do cultivated lupines look so much uglier than the wild ones? Ditto (I think) for larkspur.
