However I imagine we will keep trying from seed, since it is a good teaching/cycle of life kinda thing for the kids.Buying Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04651516505789196067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4622411633995176328.post-56657420450815030262009-09-28T17:27:41.693-07:002009-09-28T17:27:41.693-07:00This has been a difficult year for experienced gar...This has been a difficult year for experienced gardeners, so you shouldn't feel too bad. (Also you can expect to lose 10% of your plants even under the best of circumstances.) And I could be stripped of my Old Hippie credentials, but I never grow herbs from seed. I get little starts from the plant nursery. Growing most things from seed is unrewarding at best, and the little starts aren't that expensive. The exception is plants like clarkia and California poppy, both of which are likely to keel over dead if they're transplanted. And of course things like nasturtiums, which are black thumb-proof.<br /><br />And I'm so sorry about your sister-in-law. So terrible.PeonInChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17611581585285022906noreply@blogger.com
