Even here in Florida, I just never had a whole lot of luck with seeds. Guess I haven't really had all that much experience.
Wow, I bet they look beautiful, and especially with the yellow marigolds. They are such a happy flower. Maybe I'll hint to hubby, to get me a couple plants for mother's day. Then he can't mow them down, lol! :wink:
