Gardening oops… so many seeds


Cross posted from my tumblr.

I have so many seeds. My poppies and sunflowers while not doing as good as i would have liked… they all produced seeds. Considering I am actually going to plant them properly this year I should have more.

This is not counting the almost twenty sunflower varieties I got in the mean time. They were on sale and I was and still am angry at rare/seeds for their bullshit.

The poppies need a place with water runoff and sunlight. My dad helped me sort-of fix the street draining into my garage problem but it’s still there because I haven’t actually put in the cement driveway footer thing that is needed. Because there is no street curb.

I also have a lot of red flax.

Flax I found out can either be grown for fiber OR seeds but not both at the same time for the same plant. So I will have some off to the side to get more seeds while the rest will be in their own little section so I can try to harvest flax fiber.

I do not weave or spine and this will be packed with miricalgrow so I don’t know what the quality is going to be. Science? wtfbbqidk.

This got really long so have a cut. (formerly a cut)

this is not counting all the nausternum seeds that I also got. And saved. I am sad that they didn’t eat my lawn like I had hoped but they were a nice pop of color.

The chamomile was too polite and was smooshed by the grass. I’ll be sticking it in a pot this year.
I think I accidently murdered the red bee balm when i tried to clear up the mildew on it. not replacing it because it was ugly and no bugs looked at it.

I was snap dragons and more of the colimbin that was growing when I moved in.

I think I have an ecinatia plant i need to move from under my japanise maple, no idea how the seeds got there. I have more seeds to try.

So many cosmo seeds. So Many. They need to be steaked up.i wonder if i can get branches to make something witchy looking? if not it’ll be upside down tomato basket things.

I think I need to try getting a willow to grow. Then I can just harvest it for wattel and wood. I might have to go hunting after the next wind storm for bigger branches. shame I don’t have a truck or trailor.

have I mentioned that I don’t think I have enugh yard for all the flowers? I need to do something to the grass and I need some kind of boarder because of one stupid old ass.

Oh and I still have to burn out the yew stumps that are in the front flower bed… that is also full of bulbs. Mostly full of bulbs.

And someplace there is a peony that I don’t know if it survived or not. And I should try growing the luffa indoors this time because it grew way too slowly outside.

And I forgot about all the onion seeds and the carrot seeds and left over tomato seeds.

Not to mention that I plan on growing german butterball potatos this year because there are none in the stores by me. How do I potato? a tube thing and lots of dirt right? I have pleanty of people to give them to if I can grow them.

Did i mention that ther is arsenic and that I have a letter from NYS saying it’s safe for me to grow what ever and do what ever with my garden? yeah, that.
