As a wonderful bonus, both the bright flowers and leaves are deliciously edible with a spicy watercress flavor.

  Approx: 26 Seeds.

  ANNUAL

  Spring/summer/fall bloom
  Frost tender

  EASY TO START OUTDOORS

  Sow seeds in spring once all danger of frost is over in full sun (or part shade in hot climates). Nasturtiums need no added fertilizer in most soils. Poke seeds into well-worked soil about 1 inch deep and 3 to 4 inches apart. Press soil firmly over the seeds and keep moist. When seedlings are large enough to handle, thin to 10 inches apart as mounding plants need ample room to grow.

  TO START EARLY INDOORS

  Sow 2 seeds each in individual 4-inch pots of well-drained seed starting mix 3 weeks before last expected frost date. Cover 1 inch deep. Provide a strong light source. When seedlings have several sets of leaves, pinch out the weaker seedling, leaving 1 per pot. When night temps are above 50°F (10°C) gradually acclimate to outdoor conditions. Transplant seedlings into the garden 10 inches apart in full sun.

  GROWING NOTES

  These mounding nasturtiums are reliable and easy to tuck into any well-drained spot. They are a perfect disguise to cover fading bulb foliage in late spring. Their softly draping leaves and wonderfully colored flowers will quickly fill garden beds or containers. Nasturtium leaves and edible flowers add zest to salads and sandwiches.

  ANNUAL VINE

  Summer/fall bloom with edible pods and seeds
  Frost tender

  EASIEST TO START DIRECTLY IN THE GARDEN

  In late spring once weather is warm and settled and nights stay above 50°F (10°C), plant seeds in a sunny spot. Erect well-anchored supports at planting time to support the rapidly growing vines. Poke seeds in 1 inch deep and firm soil over them. If training bean vines up poles, plant 4 or 5 beans several inches from each pole, or plant seeds 3 to 4 inches apart along a fence or trellis. Keep soil evenly moist while awaiting germination in 7 to 10 days.

  THIN OR TRANSPLANT

  Beans don’t transplant well, so we advise sowing seeds where they are to grow. Thin seedlings to 6 – 8 inches apart.

  GROWING NOTES

  Always wait until weather is warm before planting seeds so beans will germinate and grow well. Keep bean vines well watered. In very hot climates, beans will flower but not set pods until weather moderates in fall. Both the crispy bean flavored blossoms and the flat green pods are deliciously edible; let some of the pretty beans mature in their pods to use for tasty dry bean recipes.

  Delphinium Blue Mirror – Delphinium Grandiflorum – Renee’s Garden

  $6.59

  Blue Mirror delphinium has fine textured foliage literally covered in sprays of intensely ultramarine blue little trumpet-shaped florets. The compact lacy plants make a lovely display in the garden and for bouquets. First introduced to England in 1818, this easy-care beauty is known in its native land of China as “Herb of the Flying Swallow.” While it’s well known that hummingbirds zero in on red, they also love true blues like this one for supplies of sweet nectar.

  Approx: 33 Seeds.

  PERENNIAL/ BLOOMS FIRST YEAR

  Summer/fall bloom
  Hardy to Zone 3

  START EARLY INDOORS

  In spring, 8 to 10 weeks before last expected frost, sow seeds 1 inch apart in a container of seed starting mix. Cover 1/4 inch deep, keep moist and provide a strong light source until seedlings are ready to plant outdoors. Feed seedlings every 2 weeks with half-strength fertilizer. Once large enough to handle, transplant seedlings 3 inches apart into deeper containers so root systems have room to develop. When plants are 3 to 4 inches tall, gradually acclimate to outdoor conditions and transplant 10 to 12 inches apart into a sunny garden spot with well-drained soil.

  GROWING NOTES

  Sow Blue Mirror in early spring for mid-summer flowers the first year, late spring bloom in subsequent years. Plants can handle more summer heat than the traditional delphinium varieties. Patrol for snails and slugs on new leaves and shoots. When each flush of flower finishes, cut stalks back to plant base to encourage reblooming. Water well and fertilize regularly throughout the growing season. Plants will die back and go dormant in winter. Leave dead foliage until early spring so you know where plants are, but cut the dead branches off at first signs of new spring growth.

  PERENNIAL GROWN AS ANNUAL

  Summer/fall bloom
  Can handle light frost

  TO START EARLY INDOORS

  Two to three weeks before the last frost date, sow seeds 1/4 inch deep and 1 in. apart in individual pots of seed starting mix. Keep warm and moist and provide a strong light source until seedlings are ready to plant outdoors. Transplant very carefully into the garden 8 in. apart when seedlings are large enough to handle.

  TO START OUTDOORS

  Sow seeds in a well-worked seedbed in full sun when danger of frost is past and temperatures have reached at least 50°F (10°C) both night and day. Space seeds 4 inches apart in rows 8 inches apart, cover lightly, 1/4 inch deep, and gently firm soil. Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy while awaiting germination in 10 to 14 days. Thin to 8 inches apart before plants get too crowded.

  GROWING NOTES

  These vibrant flowers glow in a mixed border or wild garden with their finely-cut, gray green foliage and bright, butter yellow blossoms that attract summer butterflies. Cut plants back halfway when the first flowering has finished and plants start to look rangy, and you will be rewarded with another long flush of bloom until frost. Mexican Tulip Poppies are perennial in very mild climates.
