TIP OF THE WEEK: Flower seeds that germinate most easily this time of year are alyssum (white, purple, rose), calendula (yellow, orange), nasturtium (yellow, orange, red), love-in-a-mist (baby blue, purple, rose, white), red flowering flax (Linum grandiflorum ``Rubrum''), and California poppy (orange).
Love-in-a-mist is the name of a plant that feels at home in almost any garden and makes several different, distinct impressions in the course of the year.
In raised beds made from sandy topsoil and Kellogg's Gromulch, we planted seed packets of love-in-a-mist (Nigella damascena), oriental poppy (Papaver orientale), Shirley poppy (Papaver rhoeas), purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), paludosum daisy (Chrysanthemum paludosum), baby blue eyes (Nemophila insignis), ``Sparkler radish,'' ``Early Wonder'' beet and ``Danvers Half Long'' carrot.
