I am so excited to start looking at seed catalogs finally! Ah, the photos...oh, the varieties....what wonderful colors! There is quite a stack to dive into, including Johnny's, Pinetree Garden Seeds, Gloeckner's, Stokes, Park, R. H. Shumway, Harris, and HPS out of Randolph, Wisconsin...I hope there will be some lovely TALL new introductions this year because I want nice long stems for cutting.
My first step was to make a list of seeds I have on hand. I keep them in ziplock bags in the freezer between plantings. Sometimes there are 1,000 seeds in a package, and those seeds will get me through 3 or more years! Some seeds do not keep for me, though, for instance statice, annual phlox, and salpiglosses.
Must sign off so I can get busy! Happy garden dreams!

Here are a few of the flowers blooming now: Rudbeckias, Zinnias, blue ageratum, tansy, sunflowers, annual phlox...lots more than those pictured, like euphorbia (green and white striped leaves), amaranthus in burgundy and rusty orange/brown, lisianthus, and LOTS of celosia...
Here are bridesmaids' bouquets I arranged a few weeks ago. Have been so busy cutting flowers for weddings, orders, and farmers' market I have not had time to write in my blog, so sorry. One week I actually sold out of zinnias, amazing! This rudbeckia above is a beautiful pale yellow called Prairie Sun.
