petunias?

my mom loved petunias
bernie does too, i think because mom loved them.
last year he got a planter full of them
this year i am considering growing them for him
(i did like that planter from last year though, the colors were wonderful)
i been looking for a mix that would be similar to what he had and so far i can't find any ONE mix -since i don't have a greenhouse, 'growing on' space is at a premium here ( note to self*** need a greenhouse)
i still think i am going to put some petunia seeds in though for bernie and for mom...

i do also have impatients started, just because it's so easy to. i grow nasturtium in the garden as well as marigolds all from seeds.
i like to grow the ten foot tall vining type nasturtium as well as the short mounding types... last year however the tall vining types didn't climb the fence but spread out over the bean bed......that isn't going to happen this year... i'll just transplant them if they give me a hard time
and this year i am going to do some marigolds in the house since slugs love them so much.....
gee i really wish we'd have gotten that greenhouse done last year......(insert HUGE sigh here..... maybe this year)
i know bernie is ready for spring and has spring fever as well....how?
he's looking at packages of baby lettuce leaves and multicolored peppers in the grocery store
last night we had sausage and pepper sandwitches...... he got orange, red, yellow and green peppers for them
i had told him 'get a red and a green'
btw, the sandwitches were so good that we had one and a half each!
(*burp* there isn't anything like sweet pepper sauce....it's wonderful)
oh and just in case i forgot to tell you all
the seeds i planted the other day? all sprouted!
we have babies in the house!
and i need to move them on soon to larger pots to grow out in
first 4'' then gallons
i miss my plant light seed starting thingie

now even though it's still winter, and there is still a nice blanket of snow over my garden (all winter, that's a good thing), and the spring equinox is still a month or so away.........
spring is here in the house

wishing you all an early spring
