It's starting to look ok out there.  They came around and cut back the Liriope, which means I don't have to.  They also cleaned up the leaves and crap out of most of the beds.  There are still a lot stuck in some of the plants in my side bed, like the Creeping Phlox.  The Daffodils are showing, but they've got a long way to go.  I'm also seeing the Tulips coming up in the front bed.  I'm kind of surprised that the Tulips seem farther along than the Daffodils.  The Hyacinths are showing the flower buds.

I'm now ready to transplant the Kale and the Bok Choy.  There are 9 Kale, and 6 Bok Choy.

I actually don't know what I have going on for seed starting right now...

1. a mixed 6 pack, where I transplanted some orphans- 4 Coleus, 1 Creeping Thyme, and 1 Basil
2. Basil
3. Coleus
4. Swiss Chard
5. Bok Choy, I think? 
6. mixed Lettuces 
7. mixed Lettuces
8. Arugula
9. Zinnias (cut and come again)
10. Creeping Thyme

I killed most of the first round of Cut and Come Again Zinnias because I was gone for a week.  Next time I do that, I might have to just take them out from under the lights, or put them in the window.  

I was able to salvage 2 of them, and I have the 6 Giant Zinnias.  I've also got 4 Cilantro in the plastic bottles, and the 5 containers of fully grown Coleus.  

I also started just 4 of the Elf sunflowers in the plastic bottles.  I know I'm not supposed to start them inside, but I think it will be ok because I can transplant them without hurting them.  We're only 2 weeks away from the time it would be safe to direct sow them, so why not get a head start in here?  

I think once I get all the veggies out, I'll just fill that tray with the same plastic bottles, and start growing all my sunflowers.  That tray holds 15, so I'll do 5 each of the Elf, the Sun Baby, and the other weird ones that say they're 18 inches high. Or maybe I'll do all minis.  The ones that get 4 feet high (Sun "Babies") should probably just be thrown in the ground.  I don't care about those as much.  

As I'm reading about the Morning Glories, they actually recommend starting inside in March!  So, I'm soaking them overnight and then starting a few in trays.  Should have started earlier!
