A Bushel and a Peck of Seed Babies

Ventured out to HD late afternoon to pick up the supplies for the hanging fluorescent fixture over the baby seedlings. While there; I scored -

One bunch of Georgia sweet onion sets to finish the onion greens border in TRATEOFD

3 Mexican Tarragon plants!

3 Flat Parsley

and, from the ornamental/annuals section - 5 pots of swiss chard bright lites - which I'll use to plant in front of frozen and freeze damaged ornamental's - and we can eat it also!

* I recently found there is a Bloomsdale Longstanding and a Bloomsdale Longstanding Winter; with the later to be seeded in Fall.  So perhaps therein lies my problem getting this darn seed to germinate.

I also scattered some annual flower seed packages - food for the soul.  Feast for the senses.
