Mostly been spring cleaning in the garden the last few days and there is still so much to do. At least today I got some seeds in the ground! I will start soaking more tonight.
Category: Seeds
I may still have some older posts to back tag for this, but I am now trying to categorize any post that mentions seeds as exactly that.

Why Latin names matter #2 – Lobelia
If you’re trying to plant natives, Latin names matter. I finally got around to finishing the first of this series I had started writing earlier this year, but I did back date it because the bulk of it was written by February–I just wanted to make sure of all references.

I know I said I wouldn’t do this until I finished my planting calendar, but I realized it wouldn’t take long. I think I’m still missing a few flowers from seeds I gathered last year, but I’ll fix that after I finish my planting calendar.

Unfinished posts and finished plantings
The lack of consistent postings of late is not a sign that we’ve not been putting in at least some time each day towards our garden, it’s that I’ve not managed to eck out the time to finish a handful of posts about what’s been done in that time.

Fly By Notes, 28 March 2019
Time to write just about anything in a focused manner lately has been hard to come by, so here’s a sort of organized bullet list both for me and anyone that is curious about what I’ve been up to in the last few days.
