This was a slow week for starting vegetable seeds (nothing seems to need to be sown ~5 or 6 weeks before last frost), so I took the opportunity to start some perennial flower seeds. Every year I intend to start some perennials from seed mid-summer for planting out in the fall, but I always get too busy and forget. This year I decided I'd just get them sown now while I'm thinking about it. Unfortunately, that means I'll have a little less space under my grow lights for vegetables.
Here's what I started today:
- Lupine 'Tutti Fruitti' (this one is supposed to flower the first year)
- Lupinus Perennis (a spectacular blue, wild lupine)
- Hollyhock 'Country Romance' (I've always wanted some yellow hollyhocks. This is one of the few mixes I've found with yellows)
- Columbine mix
- Foxglove 'Excelsior Hybrid'
I also started some herb seeds a few days ago (parsley and oregano) and some fennel seeds.
