2017 Line Up!

I've done a pretty terrible job keeping track of what I planted this year as usual, but here is the complete collection of seeds I purchased this year. Some have bloomed already and I will upload images and have them posted soon.
Here we have Clover seeds, Daisy silver princess seeds, tomato beefsteak seeds, california giant zinnia seeds, lavender seeds, and california poppy seeds. The burgandy flowers all the way on the left are possibly primrose seeds but I chopped off the seed name from opening the packet and don't remember what it is now. Like always I'll have to wait and see and hope for the best

I THINK these are sweet pea seeds. I really need keep track of this from the start and avoid all this confusion...

Bloom 2016 - Final Year Dump Post

Being that it's 2017, this post is pretty overdue but I'm doing it to keep things as sequential and complete as possible. I rounded up all the photo's I could find from 2016 that I never got a chance to upload on here.
 Last year I had a chance to replant some moon-flowers and take photos. The first time I planted them back in 2014, I lost the pictures I took unfortunately. It was disappointing being that they were some of my favorite blooms but here they are again in all its glory. 





In addition to the moonflowers there are some orange and yellow marigolds too. These last practically through the fall which is nice





I also grew pink and blue cornflowers I think I had leftover from the previous year




 I grew some cilantro too making it the second edible plant I've harvested next to tomatoes. Oh man fresh home-grown cilantro was some of the best I've ever eaten. I had it in my soups and omelets daily. I plucked stems, gave it a quick rinse, and just ate it just to taste it too.There was a point I had to slow down since the poor plant was basically being munched on faster than it could grow. So good though... 


Pink and Yellow Zinnia's. These are early bloom photo's, the petals haven't unrolled completely yet
