Primroses and the like....
Just bought a few primroses to fill some spaces. I got them fairly cheaply but I've decided to sow my,own seeds. Obvious, I guess, but I've never considered actually doing this with primroses. Just a row or two in the veg patch. Who else does by Verdun

lawn revival
ive started seeding a worn lan with the dwarf version of perennial rygrass and am wandering if a lawn starter fertilizer would be of any use in increasing germination rates? Not really-grass will germinate at its own rate-I would not be sowing just by tkaye29

When do you plant seeds taken from this years plants....
