Eric and Logan knew the way to my heart when they gave me seeds from Midewin Tallgrass Prairie for a retirement present. Upon receipt last February I felt like I had received a pot of gold. Little bags of precious prairie plants.
We made a ceremony of preparing the precious seeds for stratification - half of them nested in the crisper of my refrigerator through winters end and the rest planted in vermiculite and tucked in a dark corner of my garage. As spring approached we transferred the flats to the garden shed. This weekend it felt as if I was dishing up fragile desert as I moved the tender seedlings from the flats to pots. The Echinacea went gang busters and the Echinops bombed. Tomorrow the crisper seeds go in the ground. Expect another report in August.
Eric and Logan you are aces!
