If you didn't, I'm not sure how viable they will be. I can understand how hard it would be with limited space....but then again, with limited space you're not spending as much at the garden center as I would! If I didn't start seeds I'd spend an absolute fortune every spring!Debbie - MountainMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15679232688811134752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737531804022285705.post-78482675102257017182020-01-28T13:22:37.395-05:002020-01-28T13:22:37.395-05:00Buying seeds is so stressful for me because I hav...Buying seeds is so stressful for me because I have limited space, and just cannot decide!

And my moonvine grew last year, but not one flower, so sad. Four o'clocks are new to me, I had to look them up!! Too bad about the impatiens, they are so wonderful. You would need to plant them only in shade in your warm region. I'm not sure the Lobelia would like your hot summers - it does better in cool weather I think. Can't wait to see your garden!Debbie - MountainMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15679232688811134752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737531804022285705.post-35969423371838412732020-01-28T10:39:39.732-05:002020-01-28T10:39:39.732-05:00No sign of crocuses here, Kim, not yet....but you ...No sign of crocuses here, Kim, not yet....but you are two zones warmer than me, so I'm not surprised.

We've had luck with a few of the cabbages here but not the kale. There are alot of pretty flowers on this post and most of them I've never heard of!? Love to learn new things from my blog sisters! I love love love that blue stuff, I wonder if it would survive out hot humid summers here? I've never had any luck with the impatiens. My go-to workhorses are always marigolds and petunias, geraniums, and begonias as well as sweet "tater" vines etc. I've planted and tried sunflowers over and over and the squirrels always get them!!--even covered they find a way, darn it, ha ha LOL. Last year my moonflowers and morning glories were a bust as well, but I will try again this year as those are my usual "always grow and be pretty" things. I'm giving clematis another try as well, hopefully THIS YEAR I will finally have some. Mr Front Porch has been out getting our beds ready and digging new ones for me and we've been shopping for seeds and bulbs ready for the soon spring planting. I've bought cannas and hollyhocks so far. I always grow four o'clocks too. I love reading about what all you're planning and what you're growing!BeachGypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200510017404641217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737531804022285705.post-73364741511153346552020-01-26T19:41:19.927-05:002020-01-26T19:41:19.927-05:00Your emerald thumb is just amazing.

I'll sure look forward to seeing the progress of your little seedlings when they get planted and of course seeing how they flourish in your beautiful gardens. I am so in love with all the pretty cabbages, can't wait to see how they do for you because yes, they are so expensive and sell out quickly.
