    My seeds from Johnny's Seeds arrived yesterday.
    I have European Licorice, Cardoon, Oxeye Daisy, Larkspur and White Sage to get started next week.

    And then today another, sort of updated, catalog from Select Seeds arrived. There are a couple things in this one that were not in the first one I ordered from so I will just HAVE to place another order.....won't I? Of course I will.
    :-D

    Got another catalog from Gurney's today with "special" prices on some things. I may have to place an order.

    Netty, of course you can. Just think, a packet of seeds containing 60-100 seeds for about $2.50. That's 60-100 plants for $2.50. To buy the plants at a nursery would cost, IF you could find them selling for as little as $2.50 per plant, between.....$150 and $250 (that's US, don't know what Canadian is)

    Now if you are willing to spent $150 for 60 of one type of plant, why not use that $150 to buy 60 packets of seeds that could ultimately result in 3600 to 6000 plants.

    Need any other purchase justified just let me know. :D

    Toni I can't help laughing at how you justify buying seed packs - it's exactly the argument I put to Ian when he thinks I'm spending too much!!! :D :D

    Netty - go for it girl - you know you really want to - after all your a certified PA now!!! :D

    PA = Plantaholic. ;) ;)

    Go, Netty, Go. If it doesn't convince him outright, it should confuse him long enough for you to get the check written and the order mailed.
