 I just planted my collards 3 days ago. I was running over a week behind and figured it's going to throw me off big time on planting. Out of 40 seeds I've just counted 30 that have popped up. Now I've really got to find a way to raise up those trays to get them closer to the lights. Susan

Yay! We had a thrill this afternoon, too. Two of the pumpkin have sprouted from seed I saved last year!  |

Wish I could get moved. I'm not even going to try to have a garden here again.

Saw some action in the dill, oregano, and amish paste tomatoes today. No peppers yet. Looks like the lemon balm might be sprouting too, along with a few of the chrysanthemums and snapdragons. We wanted some flowers this year, too, along with the veg and herbs.  |

I always plant flowers, but I plant those that are edible or medicinal. I also plant gladiolus for Dan. He likes them. Last year, some came up that Belinda had planted by the shed a few years ago. It made him happy.

I don't usually remember to plant flowers, but I'd like to. I like to have lots of butterflies and bees. |

I plant calendula and nasturtium nearly every year. They attract bees and butterflies and the calendula is good for making salves while nasturtium is edible (peppery). You can add the flowers to salads or pick and pickle the buds to make a substitute for capers.
I also grow rugosa roses for the hips.
