Just acquired a second-hand tabletop light setup for seed starting. I have not had very much success with seeds to date, between lack of light and absent-mindedness wrt water. So I made this purchase in hope of addressing the first issue, and I figure a capillary mat (from the ever-trusty Lee Valley) might help with the second.
Because the house is a mess, I have lost the order form where I jotted down my planned order from Lindenberg Seeds, so I am trusting it to the interwebz instead.

* Liatris: 2x pkg of 10 (4272)

building a garden with little skill but boundless enthusiasm
About The Garden
This is my second garden, which I am putting in around my first house. When we got here in July 2008 the yard consisted of grass and a two-foot-wide border wildly overgrown with hydrangeas, ferns, daylilies, and weeds. I aspire to replace as much lawn as possible with carefree cottage-garden riots of colour and texture.
Location: Ottawa, Ontario
Conditions: Zone 5a; soft, well-drained soil that tends towards sand and probably acid, thanks to a big white pine; mixed sun and dappled shade

Important Note
Recent highly entertaining internet mob justice elsewhere got me to thinking, and I figured I should point out the following:
The only pictures on this blog that belong to me are those linked from my PhotoBucket account. I sometimes link to images from elsewhere on the internet, but this in no way implies ownership or permission - the images are used for illustrative purposes only (usually to show what plant I'm talking about when I don't yet own one or when mine is still shrimpy). If I've used an image of yours and you would like it removed from this site, please let me know and I'll take it down immediately. I maintain Poppycockles purely for my own reference and entertainment; it is not "monetized" and does not generate revenue for me in any way.
