(Let me just preface this question with some history: I live in an apartment, but crave to be outdoors as much as possible, so I plan ahead by making new friends who are in need of weekend gardeners in my area, so I can play in THEIR soil).
I've always assumed, (because my clients are cheap and I work for free), that annuals are a waste of money.
Then I read Chistopher Lloyd's" Succesion Planting for year-round Pleasure" over the spring season.
I was standing in front a $ table of plants at Lowes. Portulaca were in bloom. I purchased 10 plants. Loved what they did. I want more!
I collected seeds (and dug one up to bring into my apt., but its NOT flurishing).
I am wondering, here in zone 5, how do i start the seeds for next year? Can I sow directly? Do I need to buy grow lights? Will the seeds I let naturally fall to the ground winter over to make beauties for next year?
Thanks for endulging my questions.
Just don't tire yourself out, because I have tons of more ?'s
