It feels like I haven't updated in forever, mostly because there's not a whole lot going on. Winter is the most boring time for gardening. But I do have a few new seeds starting. Today I sowed
conophytum and
agave stricta var.
rubra seeds. These are some succulents that I recently learned about when reading my Timber Press succulents guide. I made an entire list of succulents I want! I was able to find seeds of these two so I bought them. Hopefully they will germinate and I will have some cool new plants. I also started a cactus mix from Baker Creek seeds.
They've already started germinating! I was expecting it to take longer before I saw some of the first babies. I'm really looking forward to seeing what they grow up into. I also started some alpine strawberry seeds but they haven't germinated yet. According the the packet they can take up to a month to germinate so I'm not concerned yet.
Speaking of my succulent shopping list, I'll go ahead and post it here. I have leads on where to buy some of these, but other I'm lost so far. If anyone is interested in trading/selling seeds or plants or knows where I can procure some of these, I'd be happy to know!
