Well I didn't plant the seeds indoors and I know they are in the proper
place as far a sunshine and shade are concerned, but I will be surprised
when they bloom since I do not remember what they are anymore. I'll
remember when they pop up, though.
I do know I planted hyacinth beans and sweetpeas and morning glories
near the fences so they can climb.
I got a lot of seeds from a seed exchange and some I am not familiar
with, so perhaps even when they bloom I won't know until I refer to a
seed catalog or my memory is jogged.
My husband said "You ought to label that stuff!" Well I didn't and now
I can't say "you were right!" to him can I. So I will have to not look
surprised and dumbfounded when things pop up.
My seeds seem to have all germinated so that is a good sign! I also
planted things heavily so I can thin them out and replant the plants I
thin into new places. I just hope I did not create a monstrousity as far
as colors are concerned. But this is my first year here so I can use
that for an excuse. I can even lie and tell people that that is how we
northerners do things!
