I'd write more often, but.....

I've got new plant catalogs to go through, and seed orders to compose. What can I not live without this year?

'Purple Gleam' California poppy
African lion's tail -- the flowers are the same color as classics_cat's hair when she lived with us
'Temple Bells Orange' celosia -- ooooooo, it's tall, it's orange, what else do I need?
'Thai Green Pea' eggplant -- eggplant fruits the size of peas, it's just too strange not to
'Tigger' melon -- a small, yellow with red stripes heirloom melon

And, even better, Donna is getting me 4 new kinds of mint from Richter's this spring. Oooooo, 4 new kinds of mint. I can't wait.

If you really want to know more, ask. I suspect this is already too much information for most *grin*

*blush* You're so cute.

And now I'm a blonde again... Except for those last three stubborn inches, that simply refuse to grow out enough that I can have my guy whack them off. :)

The poppies sound nice, and the eggplants sound very interesting. I bet they'd be nice and tender.

As always....this spring around planting time, if you have just *too many* of anything, I could probably be persuaded to take it off your hands. The white yarrow from last year has gone quite crazy--I'm hoping to eventually have it sort of wander wildly all over the yard.

I have a feeling that I'm going to have a morning glory "problem" this year...my four or five from last year seeded relentlessly, and the seeds obviously think they're fertile. I think the packet said that the morning glories I got were F1s, so theoretically this means that...what, one-quarter of the seeds can produce a viable plant?

I also got seeds off my daffodils last year...I saved them in the fridge. Do you think there's any chance I can start them and end up with actual plants?
