The Art of Emerging

I made a mental note to myself. Take more pictures of your flowers before they open. This sunflower is perhaps just as lovely before as after.

Let Us Grow Lettuce

lettuce

I was just visiting my favorite seed company wishing I had planted more of the ornamental lettuce varieties. The one pictured above is what remains from my mixed lettuce seed packet.

The Botanical Interests seed company has my devoted following. The seed had a high germination rate. They are reasonably priced. I love their seed packets! But I sure wish I had planted more varieties of the lettuce. It would be so interesting right now.

Take a stroll over to the Botanical Interest Seed Company.  Meet Curtis and Judy . While you are there take a tour of their organization. I have been very pleased with all my seeds. I especially loved the Envy Zinnias and Teddy Bear Sunflowers. But I really wish I had bought and planted more salad greens to harvest today. My lettuce above has survived a few hard frost.
