Activity

Seeded the following indoors and out.

• African Daisy Dimorphotheca
• Johnny Jump up Viola Cornuta
• Lemon Mint Monarda citriodora
• Moss Verbena Verbena tenuisecta
• Ox-Eyed Daisy Chrysanthemum leucanthemum
• Purple Tansy Phacelia tanacetifolia
• Scarlet Flax Linum rubrum
• Chicory Cichorium Intybus
• Showy Primrose Oenothera speciosa
• Sweet Alyssum Lobularia maritima
• Nierembergia Blue Mountain Nierembergia
• Bachelor's Button Centaurea moschata, "the bride"

The germination temperature for all of the above is between 65 and 75 deg. Air temperature is between 40 and 80. Ground temperature at 2" is between 50 and 60 deg. I'll use the plants started indoors to fill the gaps in those that don't' germinate outdoors. Some like Oenothera and Linum resent transplanting, so I'm not sure if they are worth the trouble of trying to start indoors.

Showy Primrose

These things are just kicking into high gear as it heats up. 80deg today. Notice the bubble bee in the top photo.
