Help! I just bought more seeds!

Can you believe it???? I haven't even finished planting the stuff I started this winter and I've ordered a bunch of half-priced seeds from T & M. . . . . I think I may have a problem . . . lol

You need help..... Help with the digging and planting, that is! :-)

Well, I have about 20 more delphiniums to plant - and 2 candy lilies (now that I know which one they are) - but I have stuff I don't have room for. I really want the wallflowers - but what will I do with them until fall when they will go in the front garden? And columbine - I have sooo much columbine. Then there are all the seedlings for the park (that are still not planted) and clasping coneflowers. and Echinecea (sp) How are these different from purple coneflowers (only one of these but probably 30 echinecea).

And snapdragons - i must have 40 - 50 of these seedlings. And red poppies, still have about 12 of these (don't know if they are perennial or annual). And then there are the 30 or so lavender plants. sigh . . . I must be nuts.

Yes, you definitely need planting help. Sounds pretty, send pictures.

I am planning my want list for next year, I still have a dozen plants I haven't planted yet.

It is very addicting, this seed planting stuff. I can think of worse addictions though.

True . . . but DH is going to have a hard time understand EVEN MORE seeds lol. I just cleared off the verandah (seedlings on the truck bed now).

I finished planted the impatiens, still have lots more to do . . .

Seeds on SALE are always a sure bet! (Bet you can't resist them!) You'll just have more beautiful plants blooming in your garden!!

Yeah . . . but guess what - I keep thinking of things I should have ordered like candy lily seeds. I have two little seedlings from the seeds I sowed (my fault - I lost the label for the container and babied what are probably more columbine! I have sooo much columbine!)

Sigh . . . is this like collecting stamps? You can never get to many?

So true....one can never have too many plants! :~) If you do, swap them with friends! Your Columbine will be gorgeous next Spring! Just you wait!! They are one of my favorite flowers!

I had a bumper crop of

Veronica - Sightseeing Mix
Blue Bedder Salvia
Double Tall Strawflowers
Blue Hyssop
Petunias - Doubles, 4 different kinds you can never have too many
Achilla Summer Berries Mix
Dahlias 4 different kinds you can never have too many

I thought I had not started them in the GH or lost them so I read about starting in the coffee filters and started some more, guess what,... I had not lost the previous starts and ALL of my seed germinated, BOTH times. Next year I WILL keep better records of what got started and what didn't & what I lost. I lost some stuff but I still had plenty of other stuff.

Darn it! Me too! I placed an order with T&M and then went and placed a second order the next day! I have them both, but now I saw something I want to add. See the Achillea 'Summer Berries' on Dylancgc's list? I'm thinking ......no! NO! Well, I wish I had bought the seeds. Or the plants from Bluestone! I think it will look really pretty with coneflowers. I *must* have it! No, wait, I can buy it from Bluestone in the fall. But then it won't bloom this year, when you really really want it. No, NEED it NOW! LOL! I feel like one of those cartoons-- I have an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other.

Mr. Clean is out of town, but I have to have the patio cleared off by the time her gets home Friday afternoon. I have been a planting fool this week, but then I could say that for the last 7 weeks! It never ends.

Oh Suzy - I am so glad it's not just me!

Of course, I forgot to order snapdragons! and batchelor buttons - and baby's breath - all the useful stuff! In fact, I don't think very much can even be winter sown - how stupid is that???

yes, it is an addiction. I am planning a second GH. My GH is just 6' x 8' and not nearly large enough to hold everything. I am looking for somewhere to put things while hardening off. I may do one of the hoop houses for that. I also saw a pvc GH and am thinking about that. Last winter the spare bathroom was FILLED with plants all winter, it has a skylight so it is great for plants. It's amazing how big the bathroom was when I removed all the plants this spring.

Yes! My veranda seemed vast - and barren when I removed all the seedlings to the backyard.

I am filling up the blank spot by moving the orchid cactuses (Christmas and Easter) outside, along with the Amaryllis. They are keeping company with a potted gardenia, a large brug, three recently arrived baby brugs, and seven baby blackcurrant swirl datura (which I grew myself from seed!)

It's so much fun to have people come to my garden and say "Where did you find that, I'll have to go get me some." I grew it from seed in my GH. I like doubles in almost everything and I can't find many doubles around here and I'm cheap, I can do the work and start them myself much cheaper than buying them. I also get a better selection of colors then at the nursery.

Not to beat a dead horse, but did anybody notice the coupon for free shipping with their recent T&M order? It was on the envelope that was included in theother box so you could mail another order in. :))
