I had a hard time finding some of the seeds I wanted in the store, so I decided to look online. I ended up not only buying the plant I really wanted - Asian Fingers Eggplant - but also some flowers as well. I haven't done flowers from seeds in many, many years and even back then it was marigolds. And anyone who's had those knows it's super easy - just pinch the dried flower, pull everything out, and spread the seeds. 

Since Abby loves pansies and snapdragons, I got those to try. And because I love Bluebonnets - the state flower of my home state of Texas - I had to try those as well. Never noticed before that they are a lupine, and those seem to grow fine here. So hopefully I can end up with a little bit of home here.

As soon as I got the seeds from the mailbox I got everything prepped and the seeds planted. They are already several days behind all my other plants and I want to get them going fast.
