Well….as you know, I have been prepping the two small areas on either side of the front walk to plant some flowers and I got the seeds before everything was shut down…one of the things I wanted in picking the seeds was that they all grow to be between 6 and 18 inches tall when mature…and a selection of colors and types….but yesterday when I started looking at the packages of seeds I noticed something that I had missed…or misread…the snapdragons that have really cool blue flowers and that I thought grew from 6 to 8 inches tall actually grow from 6 to 8 FEET tall….so, needless to say, they really won’t go too well with the others that are less than two feet tall. Luckily, I have two places that I can grow flowers that tall…one in the front by the shrubs where I have 4 feet of open space and next to the garage door where I have another flower bed that I cleaned up yesterday…and one that I was going to grow beans in until I decided to make the overflow garden in the old rose garden bed. I guess this mistake is part of the trials of planting flowers from seed for the first time…still going to be cool to see 6 foot tall flowers….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
