Planting Time!

My order from Halifax Seed.

Yesterday I picked up my order of seeds and soil at a local garden centre...… a new shopping experience in the time of Covid 19. Hubby and I were excited to have an outing as we pulled into the parking lot of the closed store. I phoned the store's number to let them know I had arrived to pick up my order and shortly a woman appeared at the door and dropped off a package on the door step.

Now all I have to do is plant and wait!

Cleome 

If you look at the lower right hand corner of the photo above, you will see a package of Cleome seeds. Last year I plant Cleome seeds that I collected from a mere six pack of bedding plants that I had planted the year before in my garden. From those seeds that I collected (for free I might add), I got these beauties!

The tall pink flowers in the back are Cleome.

I saved the seeds from these last fall but they did not seem to be germinating so I purchased some seeds to try. However, after several weeks the harvested ones seem to be finally coming up so I may end up with more than I bargained for!

All my little babies are planted …. basil, tomatoes, zinnias, cleome etc. Now all I have to do is wait!

A little extra light from a grow light can't hurt!
