Thumbs up

Oh, those are beautiful, Wiz!

Ours are just starting today. Hubby uncovered them yesterday afternoon. It will be really warm today too, so we should see more open up as well.

I put one of the yellow ones up for my avatar this week, and the purple ones in my siggie banner.

Those seeds from the Campion, go on the surface... don't bury them. But do cultivate and break up the soil so it is aerated for them to penetrate and keep them moist. If you have some old carry out plastic containers? The tops make mini greenhouses and keep the moisture in. Just put a rock on top so they don't blow away ( and pray the squirrels stay away!!) They need some light to germinate. I saved some really nice high domes, from the rotisserie chicken we get at Costco....perfect little greenhouses! LOL

I just started some indoors yesterday. Gotta keep them going in case some died over winter
