Dollar Tree seeds part 1

Hello! Yes this is about the wonderfully cheep Dollar Tree seeds that you can get 4 packets of for $1!

No this is not an ad and no I get nothing for telling you about them. I just happen to kill plants very easily and hey, cheep seeds that grow well even with my neglect? All over it.

I got three of their echinatia/purple cone flower grow kits. They each have a few seeds, a little pot and a puck of what I assume is coconut growing medium. I put the pucks in a separate bucket and added water to make them... grow. Basically I added enough water to cover them and then I waited until all the water was gone before breaking them up and adding more water to see if they would grow more. They did.

There is plenty of stuff in them that I was able to use it for some little seedling starting trays that I also got at the store. These are tiny and much more maneuverable then the huge ones at the big box stores. I might go back and get a few more.

In these I put cyanne peppers, dill, cilantro, thyme, and a whole bunch of lavender because why not? I had more seeds then seedling starting trays so I now also have two little pots and one poorly filled pot with a mix of everything but the cyanne pepper. That one i made fit.

This is not how to do this btw.

I also got two boxes on zinnia seed mix. I have never grown these before so... When it's warm out I post more about planting them.

I also got... a crap ton of seeds.

You want a carpet of snapdragons? This is how to do it. At lest, this is how I'm going to do it. I have a pot to put one pocket in and then I will make an area or two over grown with them. I hope.

I also have packets of marigolds, bachelors buttons, and a generic 'flower mix'. I'm going to try and make a flower boarder between me and the church.

More updates as the weather warms up!
