Snowyegret, I'm jealous. Soon you'll be on the way to having tomato plants.
Barbkeith, I've always have a problem with damp-off when I've started my seed indoors. So I just wait until I can plant seed outside. Catnip never seems to come back well for me the second year. Maybe I butcher it too much in order to give the cats a treat. Sometimes I lose patience with the seed and break down and buy a plant. Try Snowy's directions for seed indoors - sounds like what my friend does successfully.
Stockticker, I have a lot of shade too. It's really amazing the variety of plants that can be grown successfully in shade. If I move again, I want property that is flat. All of mine slopes. (There's a nursery in North Carolina that has a fantasic selection of hostas, as well as crazy descriptions of their plants.http://www.plantdelights.com/

OK garden experts, I bought a new border for my bedroom. Is this flower a fuschia? I need to know so I can buy new stuff for the walls. Thanks! Barbara

Barbkeith I'm no expert. The flower clusters look a little bit like wisteria but the leaves aren't the same. I don't think it's a fuchsia either. Maybe just a generic flower cluster.

Morning glories ? , If you notice the names like Pearly gates, Heavenly blue, Flying saucers it ought to be a surprise to you to know how they got their names. The seeds are a powerful hallucinogenic. Big companies coat them with a stomach sickening agent and dont pack enough to work.
Coffee grounds good for throwing out on the ice in colder climates the sun heats them and burns holes in the ice. Poor Man's salt.
Northern gardners need to check out heavy trellis for hardy kiwis. they dont have the fuzzy skin smaller and flower too. There are many types for canada Kolomatka seems to be the toughest
