Re: Re: Coreopsis Ruby

Many of my annuals reseed...I have zinnias, cosmos, poppies, salvias,
Lady's mantle, celosia, cleome that just reseed each year...I don't even
have to replant but I have never been successful with
tickseed...unfortunately, because I love it.   

Also, having trouble getting dill to germinate this year...have planted a
couple of times but it doesn't seem to want to grow...other years, I have
had gobs of it.  Any ideas?
