Let it Grow! Arrival of the Seeds

The upside of ordering my seeds online was the variety. Home Depot is not exactly known for its array of organic and/or heirloom seeds. Good luck finding purple cauliflower there! The downside has been the wait. This last rainy weekend, I kept wishing I had my plants in the ground, ready to soak it all in.



Today, the wait is over. Well, the first part. :) Next comes planting, then hoping and waiting they grow. Followed by waiting and hoping to see if the blooms will last until our Septembember nuptials. Welcome to wedding planning on the edge.

So, if all goes well, my wedding will be full of fresh:

• Cosmos Rose Bon Bon
• Morning Glory - Star of Yelta

• Echinacea
• Painted Daisy
• Double Shirley Poppy
• Giant Aster

Should make for pretty garden as well!  Most of these start to bloom by late spring and keep on truckin' until the fall or even first frost.  In theory.  So they can be a good choice for weddings in the summer too, up through mid-fall.  In case anybody else wants to wait until the last second to know if they'll have flowers or not. :)
