Planting & Plotting...
I managed to get one indoor seed tray planted yesterday with some good ol' garden sage, echinacea, boneset, and yerba del lobo. I also managed to get two outdoor nursery flats planted with arrowleaf balsamroot and compass plant. I still need to get my two remaining (indoor) seed trays planted with parsley, more clary sage, thyme, and oregano; and agave and peruvian torch cactus. In the seed tray that I planted roughly one week ago, I already have heimia, yerba del lobo, centaury, and mullein sprouts! Still waiting for the cinnamon and maravilla seeds to germinate. Can't believe that in February I already have to begin transplanting my perennials outdoors (this according to the OSU Extension's Gardening Guide, which has yet to fail me).
I am also plotting my herb garden for this spring. I still need to finish the fourth and final raised stone bed, but that hasn't stopped me from planning out what to plant in it this spring! :) At the rate I am going, all four beds will be entirely filled up this year! I may need to build a whole new herb garden to house my other plant babies over the years! :P

Sounds like a lot going on...I'm starting to try to grow more from seeds. I planted Larkspur about 4 weeks ago. I will keep my fingers crossed! Have a good new year!
I grow about 99% of my plants from seed (seed that, more and more, I have collected and stored myself over the years). I find that there is something so satisfying about looking at a plant and saying, "I knew you when you were just a teeny tiny seed!" I have also found that the plants I have grown from seed are far more vigorous and healthy than ones purchased from a nursery.
