The rest of the plants should arrive in a couple of more weeks. They were a bit later b'c germination took longer.

And since there are a couple of varieties where I'm the only one growing them b'c germination wasn't the best with some of them that the others had as well, the folks I mentioned in my post above, my fingers are doubly crossed that all will go well and that I'll be able to get seeds off those one of a kinds that I'll have. For some there just are no more seeds to be had.

Carolyn,
I'm hoping they all do well! This is going to be the latest I'm planting, ever! I hope the season lasts long enough to see some "Great Expectations" materialize. If nothing else, it's going to be much easier to plant as the size of all my seedlings are so much smaller than they've been in the past. Hopefully learned something from last year where all my much later plants did so much better.
I'm hoping such tactics work for you too! Will Freda be getting any help from her son with the plantings. How many more are you expecting? I wanted to limit my plantings to 25 this year but as usual I've gone over that number, at least in seedlings waiting to get planted out. Will see where I stand after they're planted.
Again, wishing you the best and that gardens do much better this year!
It will be a good year! It will be a good year!
