You may even consider wildflowers. I do know that those seeds come in bulk.

Of course, they bred with one another, so by the 8th year, instead of having white, pink, blue and magenta flowers, they were all a uniform magenta, but so sweet and vigorous!<br /><br />Around that time, we hired a gardener who does a winter clean-up of the beds, and year by year the sweet peas have dwindled down to nothing. <br /><br />See the benefits of sloth?<br /><br />(I really need to talk with Marcielo this winter and sow some more sweet peas.)Glennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03681336164718681936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5073185635856849089.post-77163455701703558852010-12-10T10:48:03.647-08:002010-12-10T10:48:03.647-08:00I need to head down to the hardware store and pick...I need to head down to the hardware store and pick up some seeds to get started.

I think they speak 'country' and simple folk and whimsy .. now if I could find just one word to describe. Oh .. and they have to have a scent!Mrs. Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06644129213141875138noreply@blogger.com
