So it's Spring...what have you planted?

Tweet

Every year, I plant seeds with my 2 children. We all love doing this! This year, so far we've planted: chamomile, peppermint, cockscomb, watermelon, butterfly weed, lavender, columbine, oriental poppy mix and strawberries. I'm now on a mission to get a shelf put up underneath my dining room window, which is quite large and faces West. Yes, I would prefer the plants go in the East window, but that's not possible. It's ok, the West facing window gets ALL of the late morning/afternoon sunlight - lots and lots. We get a big enough shelf today or tomorrow, I will definitely be adding some more greenhouses. I'm very excited about the shelf, because once the seeds take off and need to be moved to pots, I won't have to worry about where I'm going to put them all. I could even start an indoor herb garden for year round! Hmmm... Oh - and does anyone know, is wormwood a perennial? Last year I found the most gorgeous wormwood plant. It thrived very well but I'm worried it won't come back. If it doesn't, I'm going to be pretty upset & my next mission will be searching for another one! Have you planted any seeds yet? Are you planning to? What are you going to plant? Do you usually plant seeds or do you visit a nursery to get plants? What plants are you thinking of trying this year that you didn't have last year? Grow, grow, grow! :D
