On the agenda for today, seed planting.
I've been waiting to plant flowers seeds for weeks, but the weather has not been very cooperative. Last year I ordered a variety of seeds from a few different sellers on Etsy. In early May, I planted two different varieties of Zinnia seeds. It was the second time I planted seeds (the first time I planted seeds nothing came up) so I wasn't sure what to expect. It frosted after I planted the seeds and the plants took forever to come up, much longer than stated. We had just put in new dirt which meant the flower bed was solid weeds and because I didn't know what the zinnia plants looked like I had to wait until the plants were big enough to discern a pattern of the rows. Although the zinnias were breathtaking, I never got around to planting the rest of the seeds, which means I have the rest of them left to plant this year. Because I'm kind of a nerd, I've made a table with all the types of seeds, sun conditions, plant height, spread, colors, germination temp, days to emergence and other information (such as attracts butterflies, good container plants) and I've been trying to figure out what to plant where. The result should be interesting.
