Went to Home Depot yesterday evening to buy some more weedblock fabric to put down in front garden before wheel-barrowing more of the pile of woodchip, leaving spaces for the plants-and-trees-discovered-under-the-strangling-vines-and-poison-ivy. Found the fabric, and some staples... and also the seeds. All those pretty packets of flower seeds. And each packet is so cheap!
Came away with herbs: cilantro (really Coriander), two sorts of basil, "common" chives (what did they do???), vulgar oregano (not putting origano next to chives, might end up censored), spearmint (to grow in a bucket), garlic chives, curly parsley and lemon balm (will buy thyme and rosemary as baby plants, already have some lavender). Flowers: poppies (of course), (did I really buy four more packets???), four sorts of sunflower, lots of sweet peas, giant columbine, some crimson morning glory just to be different, and several varieties of nasturtium (if the turtle is still around, he will find them). And a set of those little peat pellets to start them off indoors.
Must resist temptation to plant seeds before soil is warm enough. Resist, resist....
