[Ag-eq] Seeds!

[Jewel]

Every weed seed that falls to the ground on the BlanchRanch germinates, but I have the greatest 
difficulty in persuading seeds of domesticated plants to follow their wild cousin's example, even 
though I look after them like a loving parent.
I bought some stock and dyanthus seedlings from our local hardware and garden shop and, you will 
scarcely believe this, where I planted them, there is now a forest of potato plants but not a stock 
or a dyanthus, and I swear in all that's wonderful that I never planted a single potato there nor 
have there ever been potatoes in that plot!

I just ordered my spring seeds!  (Messing about, instead of working.)

I got a couple "heirloom marriage" tomatoes-a cross of 2 heirloom varieties
that's supposed to give bigger yields and better disease resistance.  Both
the crosses I chose are with Brandywine, which is delicious, but tends to
have disease problems in my garden.  We'll see.

I also got red kale, and a purple kohlrabi.  I've never grown kohlrabi, but
it sounds interesting.  I think it's like a big turnip, and they do well for
me.

I also got some pansies, to jazz up my spring and fall garden.  I got big
orange marigolds, which I love, and red petunias, which I also love, but
haven't yet been successful growing from seed.  But I'll try again.

Now I better get back to work.

Tracy
