    Only one kind so far, as I have to work today.
    I sowed some Asclepias tuberosa. I read that some kinds need cold strat, so I put half the seeds in a damp paper towel in a baggie in the fridge, and sowed the other half the normal way (seeding soil). We'll see what happens :) I'll sow some more tonight when I get home. I think Asclepias incarnata is next :)

    There you goo! One, but a start!
    I keep sowing all the time. Started in Nov, Dec? Can't remember :)
    Especially at weekends, too much time to kill inside so I check my plants, over and over. Then I check my seed box, look over the small packets... and I pick some that are just winking to be sowed!
    And I indulge them!
    This past weekend I sowed some Red and White Pulsatilla seeds and the rest of the Cardiocrinum seeds I still had. This one batch went to the fridge!
    They say it's 17 months at least before any sprout shows. At least two winters.
    Can't say I'm not patient!

    Wow Cal, 17 months?? Jeez I dont think I could wait that long lol!

    I bought a set of shelves to put flats on, but theres only 1 spot in our apartment where it would fit and Im not sure the bf would be too thrilled (the spot is in the bedroom lol).
    I have yet to sow more, mainly because Ive been working quite a bit, plus I have no money to buy more flats until Friday (payday)... boooo :(
