So today I went out and completed my seed list by buying my early peas and broccoli. I decided to go with Alaska Peas (McKenzie) and Munchkin Broccoli (McKenzie), which is the same broccoli I grew last year. The package says it's a dwarf plant which only grows to 1 ft however I vividly remember mine growing to at least 2 to 2.5 ft tall....crazy.
I'm going to try a few annuals this year too, here's my list:sunflower (Dorado - OSC)
- morning glory (Mixed Colors - OSC)
- sweet peas (Royal Family Mixed Colors - OSC)
- nemophilla (Penny Black - McKenzie)
I have some seeds left over from last year which probably won't do much but I'll give them a try anyways:alyssum (Carpet of Snow, Royal Carpet - OSC)
- bachelor buttons (OSC Mixed Colors - OSC)
- nasturtium (Dwarf Jewel Mixed - OSC)
- red columbine (collected from plants I bought)
- milkweed (from my Wings of Paradise Monarch Kit)
The Penny Black looked really interesting, it's a low growing plant with lots of little flowers that are deep purple, almost black with a white boarder. They looked really unique so I thought I'd try them out.
