third sowing

Started more seeds in trays today:

Yellow cabbage collards
Alabama blue collards
Orange cosmos
Nicotiana "peach screamer"
Nepitella "mentuccia romana"
Celosia cream color
Celosia pink color
Cosmos "seashells" mix
Summer savory
Black cherry tomato
Brandywine red tomato
Beefsteak tomato
Cherokee purple tomato
Celosia "supercrest" mix
Sculpit
Hyssop
Zinnia
Milkweed
Cranesbill
Tithonia
Epazote

I looked up more info on some of the plants that are new to me- and glad of it, because I found out that sculpit, like sage, needs light to germinate. So that tray alone sits in the window instead of on the fridge top. Most of the new flowers in the list were a gift from my sister! Cranesbill is just an experiment- I really like that plant, and saw a few of its flowers had gone to seed last fall, so I collected them. The milkweed is my last try, end of the packet, then I'll just have to buy plants. None of the winter-sown seed in jugs outside have germinated.
