...and Asters, and Cosmos, and Lavendar and other late blooming flowers. Just ordered a bunch of seeds from The Bear Foot Shaman on Etsy, in preparation for "Operation Grow My Own Bouquet." Incidentally, The Shaman has a great variety of flowers, heirloom veggies, medicinal herbs...highly recommend a "trip" to her shop to get yourself thinking spring. Found myself drooling at all the beautiful and exotic fruits & veggies featured. Couldn't resist adding some purple cauliflower & a few tomatoes to my purchase (I really must get a bigger yard one of these days!!).
My plan is to start a bunch of seedlings, plant a few and then share the overflow with friends and family to plant as well. Hedging my bets! They get the gift of a colorful garden, I get the gift of flowers grown and tended with love. Oh-- and a huge cost savings! In theory. Really counting on my friend who grew up running a garden center. Yes, Carl, the pressure is ON!
Plan B is run to Trader Joe's at the last second and make a boquet from whatever they have on hand. So...hoping for lots of sunshine, and a decent amount of rain, I suppose, this growing season. Fingers crossed!
