<\/p>I ordered some seeds from a new company this year, along with the companies I typically use.\u00a0 HPS (Horticultural Products and Services Division)<\/a> sent me an impressive catalog.\u00a0 I took it to the cabin and picked out a\u00a0 few things.\u00a0 They are geared toward the commercial market (nurseries, etc.), but they have a few items in lesser quantities.\u00a0 Here is what I ordered, and they landed at home today:\n

Begonia \u201cFunky Pink\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

If I\u2019m lucky enough to get some of these seeds started, I plan to grow the plants on the back patio.\u00a0 I read directions on the Begonia Society site and plan to do my best to sterilize and use sterile medium and grow the plants close together.<\/p>\n

Parfait Raspberry Hybrid Dianthus<\/a><\/p>\n

This dianthus cultivar\u00a0has really large, showy flowers and will look great in patio pots and in the garden.<\/p>\n

Bambino Marigold<\/a><\/p>\n

For patio pots and interplanting with veggies in and around the raised beds.<\/p>\n

Mimulus Magic Blotch Mix<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m crazy for monkey flowers, but I\u2019ve had limited success raising them from seeds.\u00a0 Since these are pelleted, I\u2019m hopeful I\u2019ll be a bit more successful.\u00a0 \u00a0The goal is to place some in pots on the back patio and maybe some next to the pond, as well.<\/p>\n
