Spring Planting!

The early arrival of spring this year is an absolute joy! I can embark on my backyard project probably 2 weeks earlier than expected. I've already begun uprooting raspberry plants, cutting back roses and clematis and the other usual spring garden maintenance.

Today I am going to sow 12 varieties of plants, 8 plugs each in a plug tray. Proably 2-3 seeds per plug to be even more specific. I will be planting Carpatica Blue Bellflower, Garden Sage, Lemonella Balm, Garden Sorrel, Greek Oregano, French Thyme, Grande Chives, Italian Parsely, Pink Sweet, African Wormwood, Bitter Candytuft and the seeds that some tall pink-flowered tree living at my grandmothers' produced.

Update, May 12:
At least one of every seed type came up except for thyme. Although probably a week late, I've transplanted all the seedlings into small bio-degradable pots. Picture below!
