What Are You Planting Today, This Week, This Month?

[so lucky]

Here's my Geriatric Seed report: After 4 days, the 12 year old Pacman broccoli had 100% germination, and the 12 year old zinnias had 40%. So Woohoo! I'm going to go plant the broccoli in potting mix. Zinnias later.

Wow So Lucky! That's excellent germination on the broccoli, and a very respectable rate on the zinnias.
Do you freeze your seed?
(you probably said that somewhere but I'm too lazy to look)

I brought some frozen soil in to thaw (shoulda paid more attention to Steve's post ) and resorted to whisking it with some warm water .. then started some PowWow Wild Berry Echinacea, a perennial that was so pretty last year that I need more!,. and some for DIL's new garden.
Some pepper seeds will go in tomorrow.

@Lavender2 , I grew those PowWows a few years back, but they must have not survived the winter, because I just realized I hadn't seen them last year.

Do you have any of the other new echinaceas? They have been amazingly prolific in their development of different colors and petal shapes. I'm afraid all of them are necessary for a perennial bed to not be ashamed of itself.

 

[Lavender2]

Hmm, says they are hardy to zone 3. You must try them again!

Oh believe me, if I could I would have ALL of them! I am looking at Hot Papaya, and Raspberry Truffle looks cool. I have seen some not so great reviews on some of them, so still just checking them out. PowWow is one of the few seed cultivated ones.

I have Bravado, Magnus, White Swan, Indian Summer, Sundown, Double Decker, I think that's it.

 

[thistlebloom]

Well, they were an end of the season addition. Like tail end of the season, and probably didn't get much root growth before the ground froze.
I was looking at Hot Papaya too last year, but choked on the almost $20 price tag. I'll wait a bit on that one. I would like to add a new one every year though, they're one of my favorites.
