Some of the cupheas were just a bit tall - er, maybe more than a bit - but I cut those back after I planted them. Most of the rest were winter-sown perennial wildflower-type things: eupatorium, ironweed, lobelia cardinalis.

Let's see, I finally planted the Verbena bonariensis that sat in their flat on the patio for so long they began to bloom. And, uh, I just bought a tomato plant today at the grocery store.

They were all started with the best of intentions but I always seem to find something growing at the nursery that I think would look better.

Some are perennials, which I will pot up into larger pots to grow on a bit.

I confess I quit starting plants from seed because I felt so ashamed of the rootbound, half-starved plants still waiting in July for me to clear some ground to plant them in. Now I find out this is, if not normal, then at least not so unusual.
